Freshman year – only ONE student, sorta.

I sent in my ed plan this morning to the superintendent’s assistant’s office, but the real reason I know I’m starting a new chapter for summer is that I cut my hair.  No one will notice because it still hits my shoulders, but hey.

Now the actual homeschool planning begins: I need to make the big plan into the monthly goals so that I can make the weekly goals, so that I can dump the whole plan out the window in November. K will be taking Spanish and Art, and Art History at GCT, Choir at Illuminate, Algebra, History and Spelling here, and Literature with our friends in a mini coop.  I’ll be the mini coop’s Biology teacher, and K will  be in that class too.  There will be deadlines at GCT and the mini-coop, with other students. So biology will roll along in a tidy way.

History is the big, “now what?” subject.  K likes narrative histories without too much head hopping in the narration.  I’m thinking I can string some biographies together maybe?  I need to give her drawing assignments, perhaps museum trips to see art from different areas and times.  O, that feels hopeful.  Let’s go with that plan.
