We are pre...Jamie-<BR/>It's good to hear your comments. We are pretty flexible w/ our schedule, and I know some on Bob Jones...(we're not). We plan to do school in the summer, light, of course, but we're not letting someone come into our house and dictate what we're going to do w/ our children's eduations, no matter how popular their curriculum. If you're not enjoying it, or are stressed, I'd say it's time for a break and time to pray and re-evaulate things w/ Zach. Is he doing lessons as the head? This happens to lots of moms at this time of the year...very common. We like our CLE curriculum and go at our pace, sometimes more than one lesson ata time, sometimes we take a break for awhile. Michigan is a good state to homeschool in (no records, tests, notifications, etc)! We have looked into Alpha Omega (their Weavers curriculum, I think)--they have multi-age unit studies...HSLDA said that they are the king of unit studies. Everyone gets the same lesson, w/ different activites, geared toward their age. Very interesting. very hands on. I'll pray for you!

I'm starting to move away from the idea of a curriculum. I really like the idea of unit studies.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583971319806873447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13312615.post-1140657065654154432006-02-22T19:11:00.000-06:002006-02-22T19:11:00.000-06:00We're using Bob Jones too. :-) I gave up on keepi...We're using Bob Jones too. :-) I gave up on keeping things on the right day loooooooong ago. :-)<BR/><BR/>My dd is doing K5 Beginnings and will do lesson 65 tomorrow LOL!!!<BR/><BR/>It would be fun to keep it all on the right day of the week, but sickness, holidays, etc. cause too much stress to do that, so I don't.razorbackmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929966862824457248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13312615.post-1140647643070621802006-02-22T16:34:00.000-06:002006-02-22T16:34:00.000-06:00I am like you, I wouldn't want to follow it to a t...I am like you, I wouldn't want to follow it to a tee, but would try my darndest to do it that way or I would feel like I was running of course. All of what you are saying is what makes me deathly afraid to homeschool my kids. I feel in some way I would screw them up, or not teach them the essentials they need to know for the future. I am sorry I have no good advice for you, but it sounds like you are doing a good job so far, and as long as they learn the curriculum and understand it and are having fun doing it, then who cares if you are a couple days behind!!Choppzshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663221807255542735noreply@blogger.com
