Change of plans ;)
Isn't that the beauty of homeschooling? :)
After having everything "planned", I was still feeling massively overwhelmed. I know that there's a good chance Tibs will choose to go to High School in 2 years and just felt that in fairness to her, I needed to be preparing her for that. I also admitted to myself, that we all do best when we do textbooks. I've struggled for 5 years with this particular fact, but this year I decided there is nothing wrong with actually doing school at home, and that we are still doing a bang-up job.
So after all that and a lot of prayer, I did a very last minute switch with ALL our curriculum. ;)
Tibs will now be doing BJU World Studies, Saxon 7/6 Math, Apologia Exploring Creation with General Science, Abeka 7 Grammar and Comp, and Spelling Smart. Peanut is now going to be doing Horizons Preschool program. I realize that Horizons is exactly the same as Interlock, but actually has everything ready to go, and that's why I switched her too. Tibs is very excited and I know she is going to thrive doing things this way. For her, she needs to be able to check off things as she goes, and she also likes to know that she is on-par with her classmates in school.
I've also decided that we will either stick with Abeka or BJU for the littles all the way through. I know in my heart, that there is such wonderful curriculum out there, but I think for me, I need to do our homeschool this way. And I know that if I embrace this, so will my kidlets. They will all likely go to High School in our town, and I find peace in knowing they will be just fine there after being home and doing either Abeka or BJU. The funny thing is, I felt nothing but absolute relief when I finally just bit the bullet and admitted what I knew in my heart. :)
I know there are SO many good options out there for homeschooling, but I finally am doing something that for us, feels so incredibly right.
And that's what matters. |
