The big day has arrived!! It's time to begin our new school year!!

The table is laden with books. We'll look over all that's in store for us for the coming year. Some changes this year include getting back to unit studies (yeah!!) and perhaps an early graduation for Rebecca.

When I realized how many credits Rebecca needs to graduate, we began talking about her graduating next year...perhaps late summer. This would be a year early for her. We are talking about her future...what she wants to do post-graduation. We are looking into the CollegePlus option. It sure sounds like the best option available to her.

Thomas will begin the 9th grade this year...and is using Blessed Is The Man unit study. This looks to be a very well rounded study. I am looking forward to seeing him really take off with this study!

Natalie and Mary will be using the Prairie Primer. Personally, I am most happy about this! I used this unit study a few years ago with Rebecca and Thomas..and I'm quite happy to return to Laura's little world.

We'll be incorporating lapbooks, notebooking and general unit study things. School should be fun...and I think these changes away from the textbook/workbook approach we've been using will be a very welcome one.

I need to get some information sheets printed...so I bid you a good morning and have a wonderful day!!!
