Connor's Curriculum for 2013-2014 school year

This year Connor will be studying:

Chemistry-- On Thursdays he is tutored in chemistry by Ss. Kate Smith.  She also teaches him violin, which he loves.  He's saved enough money to purchase an electric violin (being so inspired by Lindsey Stirling) He will also read: The skeptical Chemist by Robert Boyle, Principia Mathmatica, by Issac Newton--translated version, and Elements of Chemistry by Antoniae Lavoisier
Math--He has chosen to study Geometry this year.  He wants to learn from Life of Fred, Khan Academy and Bob Jones University Press books.  He will also read: Indroduction to Mathmatics by Whitehead, and Elements of Geometry I & II by Euclid.  He hopes to also complete...or at least get a good start in Algebra II.
Latin--  I really wasn't sure how we were going to attempt foreign languages but the Lord in his goodness has brought about a wonderful opportunity for Connor.  A fellow homeschooling mom, who has often taught Latin in the past with her children and others, is offering a class.  She is using a whole language approach, which is right up Connor's alley in learning style.  So now on Friday mornings and Wednesday early evenings, Connor and Jess (a fellow student and friend) will join with Victoria Taylor and learn Latin using--------------

History--  He loved taking the online class Key of Liberty, so much that he's back agian.  This year the course study will be Civil War--(Sword of Freedom) and WWII.
Literature and Writing--  Fro writing Connor will take the IEW Student intensive C program and he has papers to write each week for his SoF class.  He will also read:  Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriett Beecher Stowe, Across Five Aprils, by Irene Hunt, Abraham Lincoln by Wilber F Gordy, and To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Shurik" a WWII Saga of the Siege of Lennigrad, by Kyra Petrovskaya Wayne and The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten-Boom.
He has mapped out another list of books that he wants to read, but we'll have to see how it all plays out.
Grammar and Vocabulary skills--  he will, much to his chagrin, appease me and use two workbooks for these.  Easy Grammar and Wordly Wise.
Fine Arts--  He will continue with piano and violin lessons and I will have short segments of Art Appreciation using the Easy Peasy all online homeschool site.
PE-- He and Cailin want to run a 10K this year.  They are waking up quite early--5 am to run 2-3 times a week.  He also wants to walk to Seminary, so he does and gets quite a bit of exercise in doing that.  Plus, he and Barry go to the gym and weight-lift as often as they can.....which isn't very often during the mowing season, but I'm sure will increase during the winter months.
Seminary is now meeting from 7 to 8 in the morning.  They are meeting at the Morgan's home in Dublin.

He seems quite happy with his work load and he's planned most of this all on his own.  He's quite the self driven learner.  My goal is to better implement accountability for him, as this isn't my strong suit, I will have to rise to the occasion and see that it is done!
