A Preview [One Hopes!]

Though we homeschool year-round, we tend to have a lighter “schedule” during the Summer months. So, as that winds down, my oldest is ramping up on his own.

During the past week, he has spontaneously started a research project of his own devising (studying detailed biographies of each of the US presidents, in order), creating his own Math worksheets, teaching his younger siblings how to play chess, teaching his younger sister basic robotics (yes, really!), and undertaking a knitting project, which in 3-1/2 days is already just about halfway done!

This is just in one week, mind you, and is in addition to my standing daily reading assignment of three chapters (of any book).

This bodes well for the school year, I hope! We have an ambitious schedule this year as my oldest enters sixth, my daughter enters 3rd and my youngest, 1st:

Monday: Swimming (we find out for certain on Saturday); and possibly Spanish (contingent upon swimming time)

Tuesday: Lego robotics (for my oldest); dance (all three)

Wednesday: Homeschool Choir; swimming (possibly–we find out Saturday for sure)

Friday: Lego robotics (oldest)

Let’s see what this year holds!
