Our 5th Grade Curriculum Picks

Share the love!

I’m not sure it’s sunk in yet that my 9yo is entering 5th grade this year. He is gifted like his father.  As I mentioned in Our 3rd Grade Curriculum Picks, we start our book list with the Sonlight curriculum lists, then add our own selections in there, too.  Here I’ll share our 5th grade curriculum picks for homeschool, with a caveat.

Our 5th Grade Curriculum Picks

Okay, caveat first.  My son reads voraciously. He has already read most of the Apologia Exploring Creation series for fun.  Yes, for fun.  He takes them to bed to read. In the last year he has read:

  • Exploring Creation with Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day
  • Exploring Creation with Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day
  • Exploring Creation with Land Animals of the Sixth Day
  • Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology
  • Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics
  • Exploring Creation with Astronomy

I’d thought about rounding out our collection with Exploring Creation with Botany, but he informed me he really wasn’t interested in learning more about plants this year.  :O While delightful, his reading appetite often leaves me perplexed as to what to do next.  This list looks a bit short (in comparison to our 3rd grade list) because these are just the books that I want to complete in the next year.  Trust me, he will do more, but we’ll add those in as we go along.

Our 5th Grade Curriculum Picks
