2011-2012 Homeschool Plans

I love, love, love this time of year. I so enjoy planning the curriculum for the upcoming year. For the twins, who will be turning 2 soon, they will be starting a very part-time nursery school in September two days a week which will help me finish up classes (only two more semesters left, yay). This semester I will be taking a curriculum planning course which will allow me to make plans for the girls during days they're at home. Christian will be starting high school this year and will be attending the same high school that both his father and I attended. Jacob will be starting 6th grade this year, and is a little sad that he'll miss that middle school experience of changing classes and lockers and such. Maybe I can recreate for him what middle school is really like, and Im sure by the end of the first week he'll be sick of it, lol. He does however enjoy homeschool for the most part. I plan to do as much hands on work in our studies as we can through the use of science museums and living history museums, which we have so much of in this area. I've collected so many books that I want to use with him this year that Im affraid I may have too much in certain areas. Summer has just kicked off and Im already looking forward to the upcoming school year!
