Our school year is half over and in many ways it feels like it flew by and also went at a snail’s pace. Either way, here we are at the mid-point evaluating our initial plans. We tried several new things this year, many of which worked great! A few things worked not so well. We started the year with doing more online classes, a new local drop off co-op, and have one in public school. So let’s see how each student is doing.
Recently, we went to the beach with several other families. My daughter was so excited to see her friends, but I wasn’t sure if she would recognize them when they met because, although they play together regularly, but have never seen each other’s faces. You see, we were meeting up with families from an online homeschool community based around Minecraft.
Lynn, my oldest, is starting 4th grade in a few short weeks. She is 9 right now and is Gifted. This year we are trying out virtual classes for her. Here are this year’s choices for her!
Teaching Kindergarten, 3rd grade, 4th grade. We’ve picked our official start date for school and its only 2 weeks away! We found a great routine after Christmas last year so I’m trying to keep a similar flow to this year’s curriculum plan.
The beauty of homeschooling is we can find ways to include our children’s passions in our learning. That means finding ways to include even their computer games in school. All 3 of my kids live and breathe Minecraft.
