Well, I survived week 1 of high school. I can't even believe that I wrote that! Yes, I have a high schooler. You know what? I really don't know what's scarier. The fact that my precious baby boy is beginning high school or the fact that I am going to be the one teaching him high school subjects. Yikes!
Once I talked myself off the ledge, which means that I drank more coffee than I care to admit, we began the week. I made out the assignment sheet and off we went. Wish me luck!
The week didn't go as well as planned. I am still struggling with getting all the together work done . Jimmie over at Jimmie's Collage did give me some advice that I am going to implement in an effort to change that. Both children are doing their independent work fairly well. I write it out on a daily schedule for Madison but Logan gets the weekly work and makes his own schedule. I am going to work with both of them this term on really taking ownership of their education.
I'll post our curriculum choices for Term 1 next week. I need to work out our schedules too. We have a ton of extra curricular activities so we will need a workable schedule to get through this term for sure! Oh and I have to get first day of school pictures as well. Guess they'll be second week of school pictures! Next week I promise not to be a slacker and have pics for my post next Friday!
Oh, wow! Homeschooling High School- sounds terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. May God bless you and your "baby" as you enter this new phase of learning :)
ReplyDeleteWow. A highschooler now that is going to fun.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to peaking in on your schedule and subjects. I always like to see what others are doing.
