Elías — 2026–27 Homeschool Plan

Source of truth

  • Original schedule: elias_2026_2027_school_year.csv
  • This plan uses the schedule’s lesson labels exactly. The curriculum titles represented by labels such as 5-9, 12T, and wk 11 are not named in the source, so they should not be inferred.
  • Elías is entering the plan as an advanced, homeschooled second-grade learner. Spring 2026 MAP results: Math RIT 210 / 92nd percentile; Reading RIT 212 / 96th percentile.

School-year structure

  • Fall term: Aug 21–Dec 18, 2026.
    • Planned instructional weeks begin Aug 21, with scheduled coursework from Aug 28.
    • Chiapas: Oct 2 is marked off; Oct 9 retains limited work while the trip is still noted.
    • Thanksgiving: Nov 27 off.
    • Last fall day: Dec 18.
  • Winter break: includes designated work/continuity entries for math (12-5), History (11-4), Spelling (week 20), and Spanish (3-4 pt 3).
  • Spring term: Jan 8–May 28, 2027.
    • EPA field trip: Feb 5.
    • Math practice/review: Feb 26.
    • Math sequence transition: Mar 5 begins 4A 1-3; subsequent math entries are intentionally blank in the supplied plan.
    • Spring break: follows Mar 19.
  • Summer: Advanced Writing has 15 planned lessons; History continues at 30; Spelling lists weeks 31–34.

Planned subject pacing

Math

  • Fall moves from 5-9 (Aug 28) through 12-3 (Dec 18), with flexible alternatives listed on several weeks (for example, 6-3 or 6-4).
  • Winter break includes 12-5; spring moves from 12-8 (Jan 8) to 15-5 (Feb 19), then review (Feb 26) and 4A 1-3 (Mar 5).
  • Because MAP math already shows substantial above-grade-level performance, use the scheduled curriculum as the core sequence while adding limited non-routine problem solving, logic, modeling, and project math—not extra repetition after mastery.

Reading comprehension and grammar

  • Reading comprehension alternates levels 3 and 4 across scheduled weeks.
  • Grammar progresses from lesson 59 (Aug 28) to 95 (Dec 18), then 97 (Jan 8) through 144 (May 28).
  • For Elías’s advanced reading profile, pair the core schedule with discussion, evidence-based explanation, research, and short analytical writing rather than simply increasing reading-drill volume.

Advanced Writing

  • Fall progresses from wk2 through wk16; the Dec 18 entry is marked ?.
  • No regular spring entries are specified; summer lists 15 lessons.
  • Use the open spring space for authentic products: a research report, illustrated explanation, persuasive piece, or project journal tied to history, science, coding, or an excursion.

History, spelling, and Spanish

  • History moves from 1-3 in early September through 11-2 by Dec 18, continues at 12-3 in January, and reaches 29 by May 28; summer lists 30.
  • Discovery Mountain availability: The 28R History / Discovery Mountain entry is scheduled for Apr 30. As reported by Adolfo on Sep 8, the locally available Season 28 catalog has only five episodes. Do not plan a sixth locally available episode until the catalog is recovered or refreshed. Use the fifth session for discussion, narration, a summary, or a connected history/Bible activity if needed. The official public Season 28 page currently describes six episodes, so the missing local episode is a content-sync/retrieval item rather than evidence that the season was designed for only five.
  • Spelling moves from wk 11 through wk11 in fall, continues with 21T/21R through 29R in spring, and uses wk31-34 in summer.
  • Spanish progresses from 1-4 pt 1 in September through 3-4 pt 2 by Dec 18, with 3-4 pt 3 during winter break. Spring Spanish pacing is not specified in the source.

Enrichment fit

The plan already provides a structured academic core. External programs should primarily add experiences this schedule does not duplicate:

  1. Coding/robotics: Code Ninjas or a FIRST LEGO League Explore team if interest is present.
  2. Hands-on inquiry and peers: Clay County 4-H and field/project work.
  3. Math enrichment: Beast Academy / later Art of Problem Solving, or Mathnasium only with a written advanced-enrichment plan—not remedial or grade-level worksheets.
  4. Reading/writing depth: research, discussion, argument, and polished original writing connected to his actual interests.

Review checkpoints

  • Before/after Chiapas: preserve continuity without treating travel as a deficit to “catch up” through busywork.
  • February/March: review whether the transition to 4A is appropriately challenging and whether the next math sequence should be specified.
  • Spring planning: decide how Advanced Writing and Spanish will continue after the fall sequence, since the supplied schedule leaves these entries open.
  • End of year: use MAP growth, portfolio samples, and Elías’s engagement—not lesson completion alone—to choose the 2027–28 level and enrichment balance.
