It's about that time again. For our family it's actually a little later than usual. We usually start our home school year the first Monday after the 4th of July. It's so hot down here in the summer we figure we might as well spend the hottest days working on academics and then we have more time to play outside and enjoy going to places when its much cooler, but this year we decided to take a longer break. Tomorrow its back to the books for us :) .
Everyone in the house is anxious to get back to our normal routine, especially me! The fall term at LUO (Liberty University Online) starts on Monday and I have to take Intermediate Algebra... I've been putting it off for five years but now I have to take it as a prereq for Statistics. I have to teach Algebra I to my freshman daughter this year anyway, so maybe this will help us both get through it. She's a lot better at Math than me, though! I'm also taking Marketing, International Business, and Organizational Ethics. Oh, my, it's going to be a long academic year!!! At home this year I have a freshman in high school, a seventh-grader, a fourth-grader, a second-grader, and a pre-schooler.
Has anyone else been feeling the economic crunch in the homeschooling area? Well, we have. In fact, I decided to go through the house, attic, and storage to see what we have for curriculum that we have accumulated over the years. I found a lot of stuff!! In fact, I found so many things that I decided not to buy a lot of new learning materials this year, but to use the ones we already have and supplement with the internet and the library.
