Ah... its that time of year again. It's the time for school to start. It may have started already for some of you, but it starts this week for us. Well, it never actually ended. Living is schooling in our house. Everyday is a learning experience; everyday is something new to learn. We learn by living life. If it's being down in the barn measuring wood for the stall door, or if its having to give your Sister's dying goat a subcutaneous Penicillin shot in her back in the freezing cold, or if its writing articles for magazines or whatever else life brings us... it's LEARNING!!
It's the FUN learning that is. But we usually start actual "school" the day after Labor Day, but we may not start tomorrow. We are still getting what we want to do together. We are not the best organized homeschoolers.
This school year is my last. I am almost finished with my academic education. Whoa, that is unbelievable to me. Its crazy that I have been doing school for 14 years of my life. I'll bet if you ask Mom she can't believe it either. I remember her telling the story of how she decided to homeschool. It is a very neat story to me actually. You should ask her to post about it.
Anyway, I don't have much to do this year. Just kinda finishing up what else I need to learn.
Some of the things I am doing are:
Algebra 2
Accounting
Science
American History/Government
History (Because I like it, not because I need more)
Bible (who can ever get enough of that??)
Spanish (Mom said WE ARE learning at least some this year. We have been trying to for about 4 years!!)
Writing an ebook (its a surprise topic)
Making up my own unit studies
Reading Literature (duh!!)
Reading Homeschool Resource Books
Writing essays
So far that is all I know I have to do. Mom is in the process of making me transcripts to see what else I need to do.
I am thinking about taking some college courses in computer technology, but haven't really looked into that. Not quite sure what I would want to take.
I am kinda excited about this school year. To start off we are doing a study on pioneers, so that should be neat.
I remember a couple years ago we went to this pioneer days thing from our homeschool group. We tasted real apple butter, we bobbed for apples, watched how wool was made from the actual sheep. The lady showed us how to spin it. We learned how to make little heart shaped decorative things out of wheat. They had a story telling time and a bunch of pioneer games. They had wagon rides too. It was pretty neat. I was only about 11 at the time, but it was still very interesting.
See what neat experiences homeschooling has allowed me?? I should try to remember every kind of fun thing I have done while being homeschooled. Although it will be a very long list.
OH I *LOVE* HOMESCHOOLING!!
Thanks Mom for keeping me Home Where I Belong!!
As Always,
Thanks for stopping by "Daily" at the "Planet"!!
