3rd-7th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices

Last week I shared our Pre-K through 2nd grade homeschool curriculum choices, and in this post I’ll share 3rd-7th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices. Soon I’ll try to get to the highschool choices!

So this year I decided to break away from MFW. I’ll probably put some children back into it in the future and I still highly recommend it, especially Exploring Countries and Cultures. The reason’s I am breaking away this year are as follows;

It will not work for my highschooler-since he has ADD (also known as ADHD type 1). MFW curriculum is wonderfully beefy literature wise, but the amount of reading would not be possible for him to complete in two years let alone one and it doesn’t cover all the subjects I want him to take. I suspect I’ll return to MFW or at least use a large portion of MFW highschool for my future children though.
I have some special area’s I want to work on with my middle scholar and my elementary scholar in. Planning my oldest son’s next 4 years has given me some extra insight as to some area’s I would like for my other children to master before they hit 9th grade, and since MFW comes with a full open and go plan (one of the reasons I love it) I won’t be able to add as much to it as I would like to for my upper elementary and middle scholar.
For my lower elementary grades I do not actually use MFW because I have so much other curriculum to use for them and I also have some early elementary favorites I love that have worked so well for my others that I don’t want to deviate from.
