Poetry for Beginners and Homer B ??

[hollyday]

My 6th grader will finish Homer A this year. She will do HOmer B next year in 7th grade.

My 3rd grader will finish Aesop A this year and will do Aesop B next year in 4th.

I want to do Beginning Poetry also. How do I schedule this for both children?

What we've done for poetry scheduling is just take a chunk of time - 12 weeks for the Poetry for Beginners Student Workbook A - from the middle of the school year and use it for poetry studies. At the end of the 12 weeks, we jump back into Homer or Aesop.

You could do something similar, or put poetry studies at the end of the school year. You could even 'sprinkle' the poetry studies throughout the year, perhaps doing two 6-week sessions.

Get Poetry for Beginners and a copy of workbook A for Poetry for Beginners for each student. Plan on spending 12 weeks somewhere during that school year to cover poetry with both of them at the same time.
