Hey there! Thank you for taking a few minutes to read my nonsense. Well, not nonsense...perhaps musings on homeschooling or the ramblings of a mom who's had a long week and needs an outlet other than exercise to release said ramblings. Regardless, I'm going to try to get back to writing weekly. Over the years I haven't been able to keep up with it because our school days started to fill with more than I could handle and I had to choose between keeping this updated or honestly, losing my Bible study time. And I know there's no way I could homeschool without spending quality time with the Father. So, there you have it.
Now, in this current season things have slowed a bit. Plus there's a couple of other reasons. One, my Little Toughie is starting what would be considered middle school and I would like to get back on track with documenting what we're doing. The tracking will also help us plan out her high school years 😬. Plus, for A380, this is a transition year where I get to focus more on the skills necessary for his success and I'll get to document that. The second part, and only some of my immediate family know this, is that I'm writing a book. I already have the ending of it outlined and partially written, but to hone my writing skills I have to write!
Moving along...It took some time for us to plan what middle school would look like for our tween. We had completed all four history cycles (and then some) as per The Well Trained Mind and I knew come high school our focus would move to studying current ideologies/events or 20th Century History or Church History or perhaps the History of Science but I didn't know how to fill the gap until then. Thankfully, we decided to go back to Sonlight, which is what I used my first year homeschooling Little Toughie in Kindergarten. Basically, we'll be doing all four cycles again but condensed into two years and it's heavily literature based. As a bibliophile I love that there's a lot of reading. But then again, there's A LOT of reading. See:
