I can't believe my baby is in high school. I graduated one in April, and this is my last child to homeschool. I am in the lesson planning process, and I think I have the first week straight, and ready to go.
Science: Physical Science on VHSG. I am hoping to get in at least one experiment a week. I have not laid out the calendar yet, but I will be planning for an Art project, Science experiment, and hopefully enough time for some music.
Language Arts/Reading: This is basically English 1 if she were in public school. I am again using VHSG and she will start with Animal Farm. I will include writing topics, a few times a week, as supplement because she needs a lot of practice. Most of the writing assignments will center around our History lessons.
History: American History this year. We are skipping over the colonies, and American Revolution. We will start with the Constitution, which is still American Revolution, but a topic I feel didn't get covered enough in Middle School. She really likes documentaries, so I have found a ton of them on Youtube. We also use Netflix, and our regular DTV if I can find good ones. The writing assignments will be mostly short, and center around or History topics for grade 9.
Math: Continuing with Intro to Algebra on Edx. and then go from there.
French: Basic first year of French.
I will post the more interesting things we do. I am trying to get back into a regular blogging schedule this year. I use the blog for our evaluation, so the more I post the better.
Have a happy school year!
