One of the highlights for me was a visit with family friends who we initially met when they were traveling around Australia; they spent a couple of years in our area. Whenever we got together it was just iron sharpening iron and that is exactly what our two days visit was like. Fantastic. It was great to talk to another family who were intending to continue homeschooling through highschool. I came away with ideas and confirmations for Joshua’s course of study for this coming year.
He has officially finished studying history. Of course, with history being his passion there is no way that we can stop him from reading history but we are not making that an official part of his studies – that now falls under the category of passion/interest led studies! His days will be filled with:
Discipleship studies – Character and Bible Study. I am excited that our church is going to do 40 days of Purpose leading up to Easter and that will be Joshua and Jessica’s bible study for this term. Then they’ll do a HOW Wisdom unit.
Lifeskills – Quickbooks, Office systems, Personal Money Management
Basic Skills – Math, Latin, Writing
General Knowledge – Science/Apologia, Geography, Apologetics and Worldview Studies, and Understanding Economics, Justice and Government.
I am very pleased, at this stage, what this looks like. He has started well this year though I don’t have all his resources just yet. He has been working on what he can and doing a full quota of study hours
