May. 25, 2006 - Sum-sum-summertime!
Well, I can breathe now. Public
schools are out for the summer, so I can let go of that semi tense
feeling I get whenever the kids play outside before 4 pm! We've
been officially finished for several weeks now.
Honsestly, I am so bad at recording and tracking things that I have no
idea how our year shaped up in terms of following our state's
guidelines for the amount of days and hours our kids must
homeschool.
I did pretty good for awhile, recording daily and accumulated learning
time in a notebook. I DID count things like sunday school,
bowling league, and field trips as academic hours. All in all, I
bet we broke about even, some weeks going really strong and doing all
kinds of extra things, and some weeks taking days off here and there.
I am pretty confident that I'll be able to better handle recordkeeping
next year. We are enrolling in an umbrella school that will
handle all that for me- all I have to do, I suspect, is call in our
weekly or monthly hours. It will also protect us from compulsory
standardized testing. I still may decide to do it, but for my own
information only.
I am going to spend time over the summer shopping and comparing
curriculum for next year. I've decided to go with A Beka for the
bulk of the material, but there are some other really great resources
for specific subjects from other publishers I want to look at, too.
Soooo....I really won't be blogging much if at all until the
fall. If you want to keep up on what's going on with me and the
family, visit my personal blog at homesteadblogger.com/MamaMiller/.
I hope you all have a great summer!
