Homeschool

Well hallelujah, look who finalized the homeschool curriculum plans. I know, I know. I really left it to the last minute this year. Time completely escaped me and then this weekend I saw that the Toronto District School Board doesn’t start school until the 9th this year so that gave me a couple more days.

We generally start when the locals start, it just makes things easier. We take off different times over the year and longer breaks over Christmas, but we tend to accomplish more in a short day than a lot of schools fit into 8 hours.

This is Roo’s last year of high school. She has no college plans at the moment because she will only be 17 when she graduates and she is in no rush.

Holy crap did I wait until the last minute to get this done. Yikes. This post includes A LOT, but that doesn’t mean that we are going it get all of it done.

This is our 12th year…or maybe our 11th. I can’t remember.

It’s been a long time though, and this is how it looks for us.

First off I try to write out a weekly schedule just to give us an idea of what we should be doing each day. I like pen and paper. It makes me feel organized when I am not.

Often shit happens and schedules don’t work out, so whatever we don’t get it done I just roll it over to the next day.

Let’s get to it.
