Taking Time to Smell My Childrens Flowers

• Jul. 3, 2009 - 2009-2010 Here We Come!!!!!! Ready or Not!!!

For the 2009-2010 school year Dear Son and I will be doing My Father's World curriculum. We were so unsure as to what to do this year.  Dear Daughter is growing up and doesn't enjoy one on one teaching anymore.  This last year she really pulled away from it.  She asked me if I could make out a list of what needed to be done and if she could just do it on her own.  I agreed and she did remarkably well.  She really did seem ready to venture out on her own.  I did continue with read alouds with her.  I didn't want to give up all of our time together.  I also plan on cooking with her more often.  It's her least favorite thing to do. 
She has asked to do more work on her own so this coming year she will be signed up with the Academy of Home Education.  She has requested it even though we informed her it looks like a LOT of work! 
Back to the topic of Dear Son; in his curriculum he will be doing Rome to the Reformation.  He is SO EXCITED!  He loves medeival times and we've never really focused on the studies of them.  We did buy the deluxe package.  (He has already broke into the CD on Beethovan.  He loved it!!!)  I really think he's ready for it.  If you ever decide to buy this curriculum, be sure to make sure you have all you need.  I noticed when purchasing that they expect you to have some books from the year before.  Well, we didn't do this curruculum last year so we had to purchase additional books.  I will continue posting on it and our other works we do.  Keep us in your prayers especially now that we officially will have a homeschooler in high school.

Good for your daughter taking initative - I hope it goes well for her. We did RtR a couple of years ago. I LOVE the Trial & Triumph book and I think that was the year we read Door in the Wall - right? The girls enjoyed that as well. It should be a good curriculum for you with the baby on the way - I like the nice organized weekly plans they have. If you want more on the Reformation - you might want to suppliment some.
