Hawkeye Academy

Oh man, it's that time of year again.  Even after 10 years of homeschooling it always sneaks up on me; I see that's it's curriculum week on on the “Not” Back-to-School Blog Hop and I start to PANIC!  Then, of course, I waste several days research curriculum again so I can finalize all the plans I've had in my head all summer but haven't committed to yet. The hard part of curriculum planning is not choosing what to use, it's eliminating what NOT to use.  Some woman buy shoes; I buy curriculum.

I'm only homeschooling 4 kids this year, but this summer brought a sweet 15-year-wonder to our family and she only decided to be homeschooled about a week ago. Yes, we gave her a choice since she has always been in public school and already had so much upheaval in her life.  Do we chart a course to use these next 3 years to the best advantage to get her ready for what lies ahead after high school, or plan a "safe" course that may allow her to re-enter public school next year if that is her wish???  Decisions, decisions.

To say I'm happy with her decision to be homeschooled is an understatement..... 

I will post our curriculum choices for this year and a tour of our learning room soon!

                                                              
                                                         


Maybe, just maybe, next year I'll be prepared in time to actually take part in the blog roll.
