What are we using for school next year??
I've finally had enough of a summer break that I can feel excited about planning school. I am not ready to START school (although the routine and schedule to our days that school brings would be nice), at least not the work of school lol....
Jordan will be 11th grade, Isaac 9th grade and Allen 8th grade. What happened to my little babies that were struggling to read?? They grow TOO fast (oops, I keep saying that, but it is SO true). I am looking forward to some of the things we're going to be doing. I'm also looking forward to having routine to our days again. Last year was hard with Doug on 2nd shift. Now he is gone all week, which is also hard, but we'll have routine to our days at least, right??
Jordan:
BJU English including grammar and composition and also literature
ABeka Consumer Math
ABeka Government
Forensic Science (thanks Chris Brock for those links :)
Music~Bass and electric guitar, he's in a weekly small group and also plays on the worship band for main service and also youth group as needed
Hopefully some woodworking with my FIL
Isaac:
Write Shop and Wordly Wise for LA (also SL literature)
Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra (OR MUS pre-algebra if the funds allow)
Sonlight Core 100 American History
Apologia Physical Science
Allen:
Write Shop and Wordly Wise for LA (and some remedial spelling work)
Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra
Not sure about history. In 8th grade I let them choose what they want to study before having to "get down to business on earning credits" in high school. We may not do history for him this year *gasp*
Apologia General Science
Sounds like a good year. I pray that Jordan will do his work and not argue with me. I really wanted to continue SL with him, but he wants "the least amount possible", and is wanting to go the textbook route. So.....we'll see how that works out :)

Sounds like a nice lineup! I haven't even started to get things figured out for fall, but it's really pretty easy around here.... we don't vary our curriculum much now that I have everything through high school... we pretty much do the same things.. the only things that change are the lit books or anything I need for co-op... although that being said, I did just order MUS for our ds to see if being able to write in the book helps him at all. Hopefully there won't be much of a learning curve for me. I did use it one year a VERY LONG time ago when our oldest dd was probably in 2nd grade.
Anyway... great lineup! I think I'll blog about our curriculum sometime since I've never done that.
I really admire y'all that are homeschooling all high-schoolers. I am terrified of that time!
Sounds like a great year.
