The kids are rocking school this year! They are doing so freaking amazing I'm so proud of them. so... we ended up adding in easy peasy history for the girls, and then we added in zoology. They are doing amazing with it. Dylan is still doing the CLEP early American history and biology and he is doing sooo good. I was so surprised at how well he is grasping things that are college level. It's hard and yet he's doing great. He's been doing math through algebra-class.com and it's helping him so much with making sure he is perfectly able to go straight through all of the concepts of algebra so he can be ready for algebra II soon. Maybe at the beginning of summer , we'll see. He's doing great. The girls are still working on basics so that they can fly right through their math once it comes in the mail. We have decided to order it for Christmas.. they will be doing life of fred and workbooks to compliment it. For now we are working on basics so that they will know what to do easily and quickly and smoothly. Marlee still struggles with math big time- but that is due to autism and learning disabilities and we are just super thankful that she is way ahead in every other subject! Seriously that girl is a beast when it comes to school! She will sit down and focus and knock out a couple of days at a time and she loves it! Im very proud of her. Syd is doing amazing with 6th grade. I still can't believe my baby is doing 6th grade work. Plus some 8th grade for history and zoology. Zoology is her absolute favorite and she is so good at it! It's right up her alley as she loves animals so much. The work is hard, it's 8th grade work and their are a lot of classification charts etc.. but she is doing just awesome with it and barely ever asks questions. When I check through her work and do our little weekly review etc ... I'm just amazed! All three kids are completely comprehending all of their work and doing amazing.
We will be adding in a writing and comp class for Dylan soon, and then we will add in piano/music and art two days a week soon. We will continue to work hard through November and then December we take off every year to do service projects and read etc and enjoy Christmas time.
