2014-15 Homeschool Plan: Overall

Finally getting around to my somewhat annual homeschool posts. ;)

So. As I've mentioned, this year's different for us...because I'm only homeschooling two of my three. Noah's enjoying the charter high school he's attending. Meanwhile, Asher and Micah are homeschooling. Here's more about that:

• We started slowly (last week) and will use a roughly "6 weeks on, 1-2 weeks off" schedule. (Yes, this means that sometimes the younger two won't have school while Noah does, and sometimes Noah won't have school while the younger two do.)
• Both will still attend the Fort Collins Options program on Mondays. Today was their first day and everything went swimmingly. :) 
• Technically speaking, Asher will be in 6th grade and Micah will be in 4th. As usual, the schoolwork we do doesn't necessarily follow that; and, for purposes of Options, Asher is listed as 7th grade and Micah is listed as 5th.
• Given Asher and Micah's aptitudes and personalities, I'm looking forward to using a single lesson plan for both boys for most subjects this year and am truly excited about the possibilities.
• Given Noah's new schedule, we'll ALL be working to shift our routines...getting up and getting to bed earlier. (This is mostly an issue for Nathan and Noah, lol.)

Now, I'll continue by subject for the younger two. Feel free, though, to completely skip these upcoming posts. ;) (You can revisit past posts by using that "Homeschooling" category link over on the left...generally, curriculum reviews/plans are in June-Aug 2010, June 2011, August 2012, and July 2013. I'll also be working on updating the boys' curriculum pages on the left.)

I always enjoy your homeschooling posts. It's nice to see what others are doing and what works/what doesn't. I am still waffling on the science part of our curriculum, but everything else is set. Saxon Math, US History with Joy Hakim, Northstar Geography, MCT Grammar, WriteShop, Fallacy Detective, Computer Skills and Art. Lots of fun stuff this year.
