So the summer is quickly upon us and I am trying to decide just what I want to do this summer. Should we take a couple weeks at the begining of the summer and then work on through, should we just start working and then take time off around camp time. I am just not so sure. I am going to have to do some praying to try and figure it out.
I have to buy Ryan his cirruculum. Beckah is going strong on hers and doing well. But Ryan has been done for a while. I am not sure what I want to do. I could go through where I have been getting it, but Im not happy with the Saxxon math. And it comes in the kit. I also am thinking about getting him some electives. He is really intrested in that. I know that I can get that from life pac and from SOS. Being he is in his last poke of high school I don't want to switch things up too much on him. He is saying that he would be happy with either life pac or with SOS. So I will look into both and see what the electives are.
Im seriously thinking of what to do with Raelynn next year. She has been asking me to homeschool her for most of this last semester in school. There doesn't seem to be a reason either. She isn't struggling with anything new, she is doing well with her friends, she isn't having issues with the teachers. I am just thinking that she wants the close knittness (did I make that word up?) of homescooling. Which of course I am all for. It would just be new for me to take on elementary school. We have always done middle school and above. I guess maybe I am doubting myself. What if I screw her up? What if where she does struggle I make it worse?
THen I have the big decission about Daniel. I am pretty sure that I am sending him for Kindergarten to school next year. I want to see how he does with the new setting and a more academic based learning. Right now he is doing play based learning. We applied for a scholarship to get Daniel a CCTV (closed circut tv) for the home. It maginfies everything that you put under it, and then you decide how big, if you want it in true color or in a high contrast color. It will be what he primarly uses in the classroom at school. I guess I can't help but feel like if he can do it at school with that, then he can do it at home with the same thing. But I want to see for myself what they are doing with him and if there is really anything all that different that he will need the special services for.
So many decissions! I wish that somehow they were already made and we were on our way with making them happen. But I know what I really need to do is spend some quality time with God and then act on what He is telling us to do.
It would be amazing to have all but one of the kids here working on a day by day basis. |
