Preliminary planning for 9th and 11th grades.

Year #11!!!!!  Time just keeps getting away from me.  This is really our 11th year for home education.

Picking curriculum can be a lot of work when you have money to spend or not.  Here is part of my plan, for now, which is subject to change depending on whether or not I can pull it all together and whether or not I change my mind about any of it before we start off the new year on August 6th.  We might get off to a slow start that day since we will be jamming out with 5SOS at their concert the night before but that is okay.  Flexibility has to be one of the best things about homeschooling!


For 11th grade (gasp!)
~Teaching Textbooks Alg 2.
~Apologia Science-Chemistry/lab.
~Music lessons.
~Book club twice a month. Helping with events as needed.

Undecided as of yet.
~CLEP College Composition.
~CLEP History of the US.

Possible 11th grade electives (not decided yet):
~Forensic Science
~Health

I will put the finishing touches on this in my spare time. HA!  I don't have any spare time but I will fit it all in like I always do because it is so important.  Wish me luck!
