Tyler had his first sleep over last night. The boys had so much fun. We will have to do that again more often.
Ky had a meeting today in Davis Junction with a friend for her filming. She got to drive. Lucky girl. The rest of us hung out at B&N waiting for her to get dropped off.
I spent nearly 10 hours yesterday uploading all of my lesson plans for next year just with Ky's stuff. After 8 hours, I lost everything in the program. ARG! Which then led to me re-thinking some of her classes. We changed them up a bit. She doesn't seem to care what classes I assign her. I'm actually looking forward to her human anatomy class. I spent today coming up with her midterm exams for the class. I remember quite a bit.
Found NCIS, season 2, on sale today. Yay! It's our latest favorite show. It's the best way to watch a TV series. Back-to-back.
On the Homeschool Lounge, several families were posting pictures of their classrooms. I thought I would post some here.
We took over the living room and turned it into a classroom. It's been great. We spend a lot of time in here.
This is Tyler's reading nook,
sandwiched between all of our fiction books
Tyler's desk is in the corner. Ky uses the center table for working on her computer. (French and Writing - she's working on a novel.)
My desk and one of 9 bookshelves in the classroom. We made it into a library too. All books are in Dewey decimal. I'm hoping to use the library with our homeschool co-op group. 
Kind of a dreary day.
Tyler should be done with Zoology 3 next week. Then we will begin Botany. I purchased a Lapbook kit from Currclick.com and look forward to working on it with him. It should help to reinforce what he will learn. I expect we will finish Botany over the summer.
I am in the process of 
printing on color paper.
Tyler has also started next year's school work in History, Bible and Language Arts. We decided to go with AOP's, Switched-on-Schoolhouse. These three subjects are done on the computer. It's very easy for me, in that it does most of the grading for me. I can access his work from my computer which has been really nice. I tried using this program when we first started homeschooling with Ky. She didn't care for the format and we switched to traditional textbooks.
Both kids will continue with their foreign language through the summer. Ky is using Rosetta Stone's French, and Tyler is using Tell-Me-More's Spanish. Poor Ky had to start over with her french as her computer crashed and we lost everything.
After talking to other homeschool mom's I have realized that Ky will have enough credits to graduate at 16. She will start at RVC with Ryenn. It looks like she will get an Associates in Arts and from there, possible head to NIU for a bachelor's in media communications. She is still thinking she wants to get into film. I've been pretty impressed with what she has been able to do. She has 4 fan video's on youtube. Check it out.
Tyler completed his bird project. We have 3 feeders just outside the classroom window. It's been fun trying to figure what kind of birds we have.
