So… yea. It’s that time of year again.\u00a0 I’ve decided to start our “school” year off on Aug 31.\u00a0 This has everything to do with Daddy getting home from a 6 month deployment at the end of July, retiring from the Navy at the beginning of August, and then taking a much-needed month long vacation.<\/p>\n
So for the last month or so I’ve been gradually planning out the schedule for the next year, signing up for classes and activities, choosing curriculum, and lesson planning.<\/p>\n
Lesson planning sucks. I just hope and pray that GeekBoy isn’t bored to tears with the work I’m setting up for him.\u00a0 I hope that the material is challenging enough for him, but also fun.\u00a0 I hope that thePinkDiva gets it.\u00a0 I hope I’m not pushing BigBoy too hard.\u00a0 I’ve been playing with HomeschoolTracker Basic as I plan though.\u00a0 So far, I like it.\u00a0 I’m considering buying the full-featured Plus version.<\/p>\n
This year we will be trying out Math-U-See.\u00a0 We’re also going to try using Heritage Studies 1 as a basis for our history course.\u00a0 I’m hoping we will\u00a0 finish Apologia’s Astronomy book this year.\u00a0 The little two will be doing phonics, while the big guy is going to be working on his writing and reading comprehension, with a dash of grammar and spelling thrown in there. The boys are signed up for soccer again, and looking forward to the season.\u00a0 All three will be taking art classes at the local Cultural Center.\u00a0 GeekBoy gets to take Martial Arts and Drama there, and thePinkDiva will be taking ballet as well.<\/p>\n
The first semester is filling up fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
