Week 1

 

We have completed week one of 8th grade.  It was a slow start with us mostly concentrating on math, literature, and Bible.  This year Justin will be using Switched on School House 8th grade Bible, Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1, Notgrass Uncle Sam and You (civics), Switched on School House SC History, Rainbow Science Year 2 (this is a continuation of last year), Progeny Press Literature Guides, Editor in Chief (grammar) and Character Based Writing lessons.  We are looking forward to a great year! 

It's that time again!

Well, it's hard to believe summer vacation is over.  =(  Our official school year will start on Monday, August 11.  I can't say that either one of us is really excited.  This weekend I worked on getting the school room back in shape and organized Justin's portfolio binders.  We'll start off kind of slow next week and introduce subjects slowly into our schedule.  We should be running on all cylinders by Monday, August 18.  At least, that's the plan.
