going out on my own...step.away.from.the k12...

[SweetCaroline]

i felt so confident a few months ago. now its time to tell k12 im not re-enrolling. its time to order stuff. im nervous.

i've decided to not enroll my 5 yr old for school next year. and to just casually keep working towards reading. and math-ish type stuffs. will do handwriting/ copywork out of ... something fabulous? for the sole purpose of practice

my older will be in the 6th grade.

i have a few things that will be sort of "cross over" subjects..that we can all do together:
like the: *Answers in Genesis history
the: * Apologia science
as well as,art study, music, nature, poerty all done for enjoyment -
and 'A mid summer nights dream..' ( coloring pages and narration for the youngers.. report writing / narration for the older)

im going to repeat 5th grade math( with a different curric.) for older. he needs to so,
for him..
* spelling wisdom
and * jr. analytical grammar? (in -put welcome on that )

im also buying my older a Kindle-
im concentrating on paper writing fo rhim. as in creative, narrative, etc..
he's very weak in that area..so i plan to concentrate there.


how does it sound?? i think it *sounds* good...does it sound thorough? i want to keep it interesting, enjoyable,andit has to be casual. im not a rigid person.

but i want them to learn and have fun. but i also need to keep my older busy. or he tries to pass his time bugging the littles

so,yeah..what do ya think?
