I generally am not all that fond of change. Unless it is the kind I can put in a jar and save for something fun. However, change is an integral part of life, and we are yet again making changes.
I will be moving from day shift to evening shift, at my 2 day a week job. This will just be better for homeschooling, at least until I am certain my daughter will be an independent learner. My son did not master that until he was a Senior. He had been helping me, with his sister, but is college work has just been too much to add helping teach her. I actually might like 2nd shift more. I am more used to it, and getting up at 3 30 am to be there by 6 isn't so great.
We have fallen behind on History and Science, because of the issue stated above. On the days I would work, Caitlin would do Math, and pretty much not anything else. We have completed quite a lot of Language Arts, so for the rest of the year, I will do once a week testing for Language Arts, and that is it for that subject. That way we can use that hour to catch up on History and Science. I am not sure if I mentioned this previously, but we have switched to Oceanography on Easy Peasy Homeschool, and it is amazing for us.
We continue to work our way through American History. Since a lot of the Middle School Years were spent on Revolutionary times, I am stressing more of modern times. We are currently on WW1, and I am spending a bit of time here, and WW2. We will get to Vietnam and Korean War, also. I don't ever even remember learning about the Korean War. If we get to 911 and all that, that would be great too.
