2009-Aug-6 - The 2009-210 Plan
It's definitely the time of year we're planning another year of homeschooling! I am so excited to be teaching middle and high school this year!
We are going to be working so hard to get our highschool transcripts in order and complete our course work~my kids have made some tough decisions too about what they want to study. I felt that they are old enough to join in the decisions of some of it~it's their education and futures! Personal responsibility is built upon them having a say in the process~so here's the line up:
World History: Our spine will be Mystery of History I 4,000BC-AD29
Literature: Ancient history text which will include the Bible and other texts translated form.
Science: Friendly Chemistry
Math: ALEKS~Algebra I; Teaching Textbooks: PreAlgebra
Language Arts: My Access Writing writing-web based
Vocab: Root and Fruits by Jill J. Dixon
Foreign Language: Japanese/Spanish
Music: Band/Orchestra
Drama: Club
PE: YMCA and other activities
This is by no means all, but we are well on our way to planning our FANTASTIC year! Girl Thing One is working on a monologue for the Drama group~yep, she's trying out for a new part this fall! AND Boy Thing One wants to do backstage props~
What are you up to? Are you doing lesson planning, using a planner or just a spread sheet? I like planners, but often have gone for an easy spreadsheet approach. My daughter is suggesting a to-do list approach that can be emailed to each child daily~yeah, now I like this! TALK about accountability!
Let's all have a great year!
