s we start our 7th year of homeschooling, our theme will be Early American History as we begin 2nd, 5th and 6th grades. We did school year-round this year, so our fall subjects will begin by wrapping up each of our summer units.
Last summer, as I planned our 6th year of homeschooling, I got a little scared because I was putting together our first year of truly custom plans. I wasn’t using a boxed curriculum for our together subjects. I trusted myself to know what had worked over the previous 5 years of homeschool but I still doubted if what I planned would be exciting to the kids or cause a mutiny.
We are starting our 6th year of homeschooling this fall with 5th grade, 4th grade and 1st grade. Our theme this year will be Medieval history. I can’t believe its year 6 already, in so many ways I am still learning as I go.
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.
He is the youngest and has been doing his own school work for 2 years already. This year he will be officially a Kindergartner. He thinks school is no big deal.
