I decided I needed a place to start recording the different things we do for school. I had intended to start a new blog but logged in and saw that somewhere along the way, I started one. I just didn't keep it going. I really want to start keeping better track of the different things that we are doing so I am going to try desperately to keep this up. :)
So where are we right now and where are we going?
We've just finished up fourth and sixth grades for the big kids and Oliver is about to turn four and have his first year of pre-K.
The past year of school was successful. I think it is rare for a home school mom to look back on a school year and confidently say, "Nailed it!" but that's what I'm saying. Sure, it wasn't perfect. There were hard times and there were days that the checklist wasn't checked off. But ever since we joined Classical Conversations, I don't doubt that we are doing enough. I don't worry. I don't stress so much about what they are learning. My oldest was a memory master (a Classical Conversations title given to kids who can recite the entire year's memory work) and my fourth grader wrote his first research paper with NO TEARS! No. Tears.
There are big changes coming up next school year. Tori is moving from Foundations and Essentials on to the Challenge program. I am moving on with her to direct Challenge A. Lucas won't be making any changes but Oliver will be officially enrolled in Foundations for the first time! Wow, I am nervous about that!
I am going to back up and spend the next few (many?) posts writing about some of the experiences we've had this school year.
