Last week we finished up our 16th week of homeschooling. We have been in a really good routine lately - probably one of the very best we've ever had in all of our years of homeschooling big kids. I can see us finishing up our school year with this routine, but as we all know very well, life can sometimes surprise us with curveballs, so I don't want to plan too far ahead. What I will say is that what we are doing now is working very well and I know the girls would agree.
Opportunity Areas: Art. For sure, it is art. It is going to take us all school year to earn a semester's credit because I am terrible about executing our art lessons. The crazy thing is that they aren't terribly teacher heavy - meaning that they don't require an awful lot of prep work and, more often than not, they don't require me to buy a lot of extra resources I can literally teach the girls the lesson and then allow them the time and space to work on the project at hand and be done with it (with maybe a little extra help for Sarah). I don't know why I drag my feet on this subject because it doesn't have to be as painful as I am making it. Aargh!
Successful Areas: I would have to say that I feel that one of our strongest and most successful parts of our homeschool right now is our routine. Like I mentioned above, we are doing really, really well.
