Year 11, folks!
I didn't think there would be a Year 11. It's been increasingly challenging to continue to be a stay-at-home Mom, supporting a family on a limited income. But, my conviction has ALWAYS been to homeschool my children until it's either obvious it isn't working or THEY choose to explore a new educational path. Homeschooling works for us! And as I juggle spending and make sacrifices, homeschooling just becomes that much more meaningful and enjoyable, and less of a choice, but a parenting and family "constant". In a life full of changes, keeping those "constants" are a must.

I am honored to be your first follower! Glad to see you making a new start!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nicole! I appreciate that you followed me and the kids over here to our new "place".
DeleteSo "White Pine" is Jake, "Sugar Maple" is Cati and "Balsam Fir" is Sam?:) Welcome to your new bloggy home! By the way what resources is Jake using for US History and Spanish next year and what grade will he be in?
ReplyDeleteWell, Jake is going into 9th or 10th grade. We haven't decided yet. LOL He may not be homeschooled next year, but attend a new high school that focuses on science, math and technology (grade 9) But if he is home then he will do HippoCampus US History (AP) and/or US Government and Politics (AP) (grade 10). This is the link: http://www.hippocampus.org/HippoCampus/History%20%26%20Government;jsessionid=473866CD5786512AFD6A698323CACB25. I have not made any decisions on Spanish for home studies, but leaning towards either Mango through our library, going to the public high school or Rosetta Stone.
DeleteWhat a super cool page idea!! I might copy the idea on my blog (I'll give credit ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan for the year. I hope the high school is a wonderful change for Jake. The blocks of time and homework sound like a great motivator to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Jessy! So excited for Jake and his new opportunities! Life will certainly be different, but you will succeed! It's going to be a great year!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great new year ahead. I bet it will feel strange with one away. However, we do whats best for each kid. I hope you have an exciting (in a good way) year.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Dawn
Ahhhh Year 10 .... I am so proud of you for all the new challenges and changes in your life girl. You have been a constant support and cheerleader for my little homeschooling of one! :) We are going into year 3 AHHHHHH! hahahaha! It is so amazing and I love it! I hope you have an amazing year and that your eldest gets used to early mornings and new exciting beginnings quickly! <3
ReplyDeletehugs girl
Philip did Chinese last year using Rosetta Stone. Over the summer we joined the local Chinese Association because they offer language lessons. We will continue with Rosetta Stone in September and hopefully with the Chinese Association.
ReplyDelete10 years! woo hoo! how exciting!
ReplyDeleteJake's curriculum looks so cool. If we had this option where we live, it might have been just the thing for my guys with a strong engineering bent.
We'll be using Saxon and Easy Grammar, too.
Your school room looks fantastic! and I love seeing how you schedule blocks of time. That's really helpful to me.
Good luck to Jake! (and his mama and siblings)have a great start to your school year.
That looks so organized! I hope you have a wonderful year.
