It’s Saturday. Usually I really like Saturday’s…but today isn’t going so well. It seems as though the kids really have it out for each other today. So, in an effort to customize my blog and get some homeschool planning done, well…it’s been challenging to say the least!

Today’s goal you ask? Well, try to recover from this stupid muscle spasm in my side and figure out Homeschool Tracker. It’s a great program used to keep track of what the kids are doing every day and for high school (next year for my oldest dd) be able to make a fairly descent transcript. Though we use it ‘after the fact’ instead of figuring out due dates and all that. It’s been easier to to just input in what we’ve already done. So…with that in mind I still have to figure it out. I thought I’d have this year to become proficient at it before it becomes truly important!

We have almost finished the Story of The World: Volume 2 Middle Ages and are off to SOTW Volumes 3&4 in one year via Sonlight. I really think it’s going to be a great year! I left Sonlight for a while and have discovered through trial and error that it really is “home” for us! So, this next week we will begin Core 7 ~ Intro to World History Part 2. Will also be using Apologia’s General Science and Rod & Staff for formal grammar. Rosetta Stone for Spanish and even learning some poetry this year!

The littles ( 7yo ds and 5 yo dd) are using Core K/C Intro to World Cultures and are really enjoying it! Youngest dd is really becoming quite the proficient reader! She is so excited about it….looks like she might pick up her mom’s love of reading….hope one of them will!

Off to do something productive….
