The Freshman

Can you believe it's almost time for school again? Didn't we just finish up last week? Surely it was last week? No?

I'm officially in beginning-of-the-school-year panic mode. Especially considering we're *gulp* starting high school. Funny how when you homeschool it's the parents that get the jitters instead of the kids. I think I have all my bases covered. Curriculum is all here and ready to go except some literature I decided to throw in at the last minute. It's on it's way.

Here's the schedule:

Speaking & Writing Skills
Pre Algebra/Pre Geometry
Biology
World History
Spanish I
Health
Essentials of Communications
Bible
Art/PE

We sat down last night and determined the field trips we'll be taking with a local homeschool group. We will be:

Rock climbing
Laser tagging
Coppersmithing
A war reenactment of the War of 1812
A weekly art class
A weekly gym class
A Bonfire
A Corn Maze
& a few movie nights

all on top of our weekly group meeting every Wednesday and other events that pop up along the way.

And that's just the first semester.

Suddenly, I want to crawl in a hole with Bob.

I think I'd better go breathe into a paper bag.
