I am working on putting finishing touches on Grace's 9th grade curriculum choices. Many of you know my dear Grace, her strengths and challenges. I am thinking of using Abeka for Health and grammar, as she is used to using their program. For math, we will continue in MUS Algebra 1. History and Literature/Writing will be covered with Songlight. She will most likely take an art class at the local high school, which is open to homeschoolers taking classes. I am still trying to find a program for her foreign language choice, American Sign Language! I was thinking we would continue French. Oh, and for science, Apologia biology. I think that is it.
For Trevor, my soon to be 7th grader, I will be using Abeka for grammar, Sonlight for history, literature, and writing. For math he will be ready for MUS geometry! Yes, I said geometry. He is sailing through algebra this year. He will be doing science with Grace, too.
Now that leaves Ryan, my 11th grader. He has requested to enroll at the local high school. It is something he has given a lot of thought to , and I won't go into all the details here. He wants to be in their jazz band. He has met with the band director, and was given sheet music to practice. Ryan will have to prove himself with the school. He has to test out of all his 9th and 10th grade classes. So, it is really now up to him to do the work.
This coming school year is going to be quite different, but as usual, change is something you just have to learn to deal with around here!
