A friend asked me to jot down what we were doing for school in the coming year and so I thought it was about time to write it up here. It looks like I forgot to do it last year! Oops! Maybe sometime I will get around to looking back and jotting that down as well. For now...
Summer School
We are not taking a real summer break. My big kids have some great work opportunities and we are building a house right now so we need more flexible time off than we need one huge chunk in the summer. But we are doing some things that are different this summer. Here is a quick rundown.
Bible (wrapping up Bible Road Trip Year 1 and doing misc Bible studies)
Trim Healthy You (oldest 4 kids)
Foundations of Personal Finance (oldest 4 kids)
Artistic Pursuits (Riley, Remy, Oliver, Olivia, and Zach in 3 different levels once or twice a week)
Cooking-- I am making it a priority to have the kids cook with me and cook meals on their own.
Exercise-- the boys are all over this :0)
Work--taking the many work opportunities that present themselves with family and neighbors.
Trail Guide to World Geography and these Notebooks
History Revealed World Empires, World Missions, World Wars (I LOVE THIS!)
Greek (details below)
Catechism--I wrote one based on the ideas in this book but I made it my own.
Read Aloud The Lord of the Rings
Teaching Reading to Oliver and Olivia
Story of the World with Oliver, Olivia, and Zach
School Time with the Millers Oliver, Olivia and Zach
2020 School Year
All the kids have Daddy School with Jeremy in the morning one or two mornings a week for 30 minutes or so (the older 4 in one group and the younger 3 in another group, Brooke hasn't started yet since she is only 18 months :0). He works on Bible Drills, Theology, Catechism, and Scripture Memory. Sometimes they just go on tangents and talk about the Bible and how it applies to life.
