Most people list their goals and resolutions on January 1, right? Well I figured better late than never, and got at it today. One of the goals is to post more frequently here, about homeschool related subjects. The girls are getting quite a bit of their learning this year through a high school study group. It has been wonderful! The only academics we're doing independently at home for the teens is math and U.S. History. I teach a writing class to the group (about a dozen of the greatest teens you'll find anywhere). Last semester they also had Biology, Life Skills (Dave Ramsey Financial program for teens), and Drama. This semester they'll be adding Literature (using a Progeny Press program) Anatomy, and Hands on US History. Our oldest daughter is also taking a film making class offered at another co-op in the area, and she loves it!. All 3 girls continue with Math-U-See. I'll admit Math is a struggle for me. After working through Algebra with my oldest the other day my head hurt. Really. I've loved Math U See until this point, but I will be researching to see if I can find something that's a better fit for the high school maths. I'm open to suggestions! We were up in Canada for almost a month, and just got home a few days ago. An aunt that I lived with from age 10 to age 25 is very ill with cancer. I'm so glad that as homeschoolers we had the flexibility to stay with them for such a chunk of time to help out. We'll be doing a good bit of driving back and forth for the next while. The new Teach magazine was waiting for me when we got home (look for a review shortly) as well as Homeschool Enrichment magazine. I continue to be amazed at the wealth of encouraging and challenging reads available for homeschooling families in today's market. We are blessed! |
