I mentioned in the last post that I am adjusting his English/Reading/Language Arts, because his reading level has really skyrocketed and I want him to be more challenged. So until his 6th grade English book gets here, we won't be doing much English.

I unfortunately have to redo our English/Language Arts plan.
I gave the fifth grader a reading level test last week and he is testing at an early 7th grade level. I have him in the 5th-6th grade McGuffey Reader. I'm looking at the McGuffey Fourth Eclectic Reader (which is around a 6th-7th grade reading level) and the print is very small and light. With his dyslexia, that print is going to be too difficult for him to read well.
We are almost finished with Queen's Language Lessons for the Elementary Child. That workbook was perfect for him a year ago as a struggling reader. Now, I feel like he needs something more rigorous. I bought a used copy of 6th Grade Voyages in English (a textbook used in Catholic private schools).
We are continuing with copywork and dictation for now. I feel like there's something missing here, though. He's not doing spelling, because we are learning spelling through copywork/dictation.
I think my plan will be:

Someone started a homeschool futsal program near us, so we went for the first time. Futsal is similar to indoor soccer, but with a hard court and smaller goals/area of play. It is very fast-paced. The fifth grader had so much fun and we are going back next week.

I don't know how we made it through our school day, but we did!
