We began this year a few days ago with a fourth grader and an eleventh grader. This year, for some reason, didn't hold that new year anticipation. I was simply happy to be getting back to the routine.
Megan jumped right back into Bigger Hearts for His Glory, which we began last January. It wasn't a big deal since she had been working through the guide anyway.
The last three years Laura has worked with Jasmine on high school studies that I pieced together. This year I put Laura back into Heart of Dakota. She is using the Missions to Modern Marvels guide beefed up for high school. I have added high school chemistry to accompany the chemistry scheduled. I also added high school literature and A Noble Experiment, a high school level government class. For economics, I included a couple different resources that I already had on hand to go with the Whatever happened to Penny Candy study. Laura is also doing high school writing, English, and Geometry.
I like the lesson plans for Heart of Dakota. Next year I have planned for Laura to cover the World Geography guide. We skipped World Geography because I had Laura and Jasmine working together and Jasmine completed World Geography her freshman year. I like that the World Geography guide also covers missions. I think that adds an awesome depth to the study.
Our year is getting on track, the routine being developed. In January, I will begin college myself, and I am worried about the extra work interfering with homeschooling. However, my girls are good about doing what needs to be done when it is needed.
