End of year/ Summer School...

A short break during late November through January means an extended school year for us, but that doesnt mean we cant finish strong in some classes.

So far we've been able to finish up Killian's math for the year; which means he will be free of his least favorite subject for the summer. And in the next few weeks we will do a quick review of the TN Drivers License manual in hopes of getting his learners permit in June. Pray God gives this mama lots of patience once he's behind the wheel. Luckily for him we will only have to finish up his Physical Science this summer & perhaps go ahead and take Health & Wellness, but thats still to be decided. My hope is that we can accomplish as much as possible before his 12th grade year.

Lotus is a little less lucky and will be finishing up the majority of her classes during the summer, but she will manage to be done with US History by the end of May. We will also be closing up the Write Shop (see note below) and focusing on spelling, vocab and some problems she's having with phonics. As for science were still uncertain if were going to work through the summer or just wait til next year. However science is sooo much more fun in the summer months. Nothing like studying fungi when you can actually get outside and look at fungi.

I guess this means I will be very busy in the next few months, but dont worry most of this will be done creekside or poolside. You know, homeschool style.

(A few months in we decided to switch Lotus over to the Write Shop study that we are using with Killian and incorporate more individual studies in grammar.This program will be worked on over the next couple of years. So far we are loving it!!)
