Homeschool Year End...almostPosted on Wednesday 23 May 2007 at 10:52 AM in Homeschooling - Post CommentI'm so glad that we are getting to the end of our school year...I need a BREAK!I imagine that we should be done with everything for this year by July, then we'll be starting back up again in September after Labor Day. I personally need to take some time to sit and evaluate everything we've done this year and how we've done things. I'm sure there needs to be some changes made...many on my part. I'm already thinking about next years curriculum. This weekend we will be attending a used curriculum sale and I think that I'm going with all used curriculum for third grade to save some money. I'll see what they have and see what hubby thinks about it. We are sticking with ABeka for the basics, Bob Jones for Bible and Sonlight for their readers and read alouds. We'll see what we find at the used curriculum sale. I'm dissappointed that Boo wasn't really able to learn much Spanish this year. Switched on Schoolhouse Elementary Spanish really didn't work well for us. But the more research I do, the more I'm thinking Latin would be really good right now instead. Boo likes sign language too, so we'll be continuing that. Nobody stepped up to lead our local homeschool group this year, so we really didn't do anything. We also changed churches and we are the only homeschoolers in our new church. I miss being involved in a good homeschool group...so if there is going to be one in this area I guess I need to step up myself. "What are you going to do about a diploma??" I've heard this question quite a bit this past year...and Boo is only in second grade. lol Assuming the homeschool laws here in Indiana do not change, this is what we will probably do: Once Boo has finished all the requirements we set for him to graduate, we will print out a diploma on the computer and host our own little graduation ceremony/party. Very simple. We'll put together a transcript according to what the colleges want and we'll see what happens from there. But like I said...Boo is only in second grade. Things could change dramatically by the time he graduates. Just some thoughts as we see this years homeschool finish line in the distance. All in all...homeschooling is one of the best decisions hubby and I have made.
