Our Homeschool Curriculum 2011-2012

I'd like to share what we're doing for homeschooling this year!  I'll do it one child at a time each day, starting with the oldest.

Andrew is 16.  He is basically doing 11th/12th grade simultaneously this year.  He's been working really hard to complete 4 years of high school in 3 years.  That is one of the joys of homeschooling--being able to do that.  So if his list looks LONG....that is why!

Bible--Switched on Schoolhouse: 12th grade Christian Faith and Living, Vision Forum's "Defending the Christian Worldview", the book "In His Steps"

Algebra--Teaching Textbooks (math is not his strong suit, and we are not making a big deal about it.  The line of work he is going into does not require high levels of math.)

Language Arts--online writing classes through Time4writing.com.  He'll take Essay Writing, and then Essay Writing for the SAT.  Wordly Wise 11 and 12 for Vocabulary.

History--Truthquest History Age of Revolution III

American Government (1st semester)--Alpha Omega Lifepacs

Economics (2nd semester)--Alpha Omega Lifepacs, "What Ever Happened to Penny Candy?"

Spanish--Rosetta Stone online: he has half of Spanish 2 to finish (he would have finished this summer but we ended up with computer issues), then he'll go onto Spanish 3 and 4.

Flash Animation: online class

Biology:  Alpha Omega Switched on Schoolhouse:  He has the second half of this to finish.

Health:  Abeka

That's it for Andrew!  He's excited to finish up.  We're going to do a graduation ceremony through our local homeschool organization.  He's excited to go to the local college and get into radio broadcasting.

I'll share more tomorrow....
