Locally, ours went back last week. Used to be we didn't start school until around the 25-28 of August. Now, they go back on the 6th or 8th. They also get a week out in the fall for "fall break" that we didn't used to get.

We're not starting back until after Labor Day. I love having the option, as homeschoolers, to set our own schedule. We're still in the middle of summer and summer work. It's not time for school yet here!

Tomorrow... :) :(



I have very mixed feelings... mostly, I will miss them...

..but I'm excited for them too,

and for me, as I get to drive the buses again, part-time. :)
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

My wife wants to homeschool (as both our kids could read/write the basics before they entered K5 ).. but doesn't think our son will respond as well. The other aspect is that she is now a vital part of my business and I don't think I could afford to lose her.

What programs do you use? I'll just pm you soon.

I use quite a mix of things, but here are a few.

Tapestry of Grace for History, Church History, World View, Geography, Writing, Literature, Philosophy, Poetry, some Bible, and eventually Government.

You can look at it at the following address:

http://www.tapestryofgrace.com/index.php

Abeka for skill areas of grammar, phonics, and math for my daughter

Saxon for math for my son

Some Rod & Staff (spelling for my son)

Elementary Greek for Greek

http://www.opentexture.com/

Apologia General Science (for my son)

We also like the Bluedorn brothers' Logic

I hope that helps you some :)
