May. 9, 2008 - Reflections on the Coming Year

I have been thinking a lot in the last few months about the coming year.  Our son will be entering the 9th grade, and while that doesn't scare me, it has me reflecting on what we will need to do since he will officially be in high school here at home.  I have even read two books and one ebook on the subject:  High School @ Home: You Can Do It! by Diana Johnson, Homeschooling High School: Planning Ahead for College Admission by Jeanne Gowen Dennis,and High School! Yes! It Can Be Easy Too! by Cindy Rushton. They all have a lot of interesting information and encouragement for those of us who have children entering the high school years.  We know that God is walking beside us during these years, but it is nice to know that there are those veteran home educators who are so willing to share their experiences with us.

Good luck as you head into the highschool years! I will be there before I am ready. I hope you are enjoying Cindy Rushton's book. I just posted about her Ultimate Homeschool Expo on my blog. Come check it out!

Do you use Tapestry??? I was thinking about using that when my kiddos are a little older. If so, do you like it? I'm always on the curriculum hunt--ideas for the future....

Lexi,
I hope this is how I am supposed to reply. I am new to blogging so let me know if there is a different way. Yes, we use Tapestry of Grace, and we love it. We have learned to pick and choose what books and activities to use from Tapestry, because it is extremely time consuming to do it all. You can easily be overwhelmed if you try to do everything they offer. There are so many curriculums out there that are really, really great that it is hard to choose one and stick with it, but we'll probably keep on with Tapestry of Grace.
