A Day in the Life of Home Schooling

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.
