We have started back to school.  We started on August 25th because we will be taking a trip to Disney in October.  We are looking forward to this trip.  This will be our first time going to Disney.

Dh is back to work and school now himself.  Yesterday was his first day back to both work and school.  It was a long day for him.  His foot was a bit swollen when he came home.  He is doing much better and walking without crutches. 

Our school schedule is very busy this year.  Dd has alot on her plate for this school year.  She is going to need to work hard to accomplish all our goals for this year.

This is what we are using with dd this year:

History~Streams of Civilization-Book 2

Math~Saxon Algebra 2 with DIVE cd

English~Learning Language Arts Through Literature,  Hot Words for Sat I

Science~Christian Liberty Press-Biology

Foreign Language~Berlitz New Basic French

There are also extras that we work on together for Bible and additional reading.

This is what we are using with ds this year:

History~Our Christian Heritage

Math~Saxon 7/6

English~Learning Language Arts Through Literature

Science~Bright Ideas Press Earth in Science with some additional books from Answers in Genesis

We will be working on art and music more this year.  We will use How Great Thou Art art curriculum.  I am not sure what we will be using for music yet.  We are hoping to take a Charlotte Mason approach to these subjects.  This year we have the opportunity to participate in coop classes with our homeschool group and we are very excited about that.  It will be on Thursdays from 9am-12pm.  They will both attend a history, timeline, science, writing/public speaking classes.  I will be there to help with the classes.  I am excited at this first time opportunity.

I am hoping to post updates of how we are doing with each of our curriculum choices throughout the school year.
