This example course of study for the 8th grade child is an outline that can serve as a guide line to planning the upcoming lessons.

As every one knows or will discover, real-life happens and there will be many adjustments made to this course of study as the year ploughs forward. But it is still worth while to make a course of study because it can help keep us on track. As we become more experienced at planning the course of study, we will become more realistic in the plan.

I used the notes area for the time I think the classes will take. This section can be used for anything that you need it for.
