Summer Plans

Well we have been home educating year round since we started 5 years ago and this year will be no different - although it appears it might be our last. If all goes well KM will be sitting for the GED in the fall and will be officially "graduated" by December, so this summer should be our last official "session" -- though we feel education doesn't stop just because she is getting a piece of paper, it will just look a WHOLE lot different around here.

KM will be focusing on essay writing for the GED, will be using Crash Courses to make sure any little gaps have been filled in, continuing her study of Japanese, and she has picked two new courses World Religions and Psychology. Here is a list of what KM will be using to cover these topics ---

• Crash Courses
• Ged Essay (Steck-Vaughn Ged Series)
• Japanese 1 - GPB Resources
• Japanese from Zero! 1: Proven Techniques to Learn Japanese for Students and Professionals 
• World Religions Interdisciplinary Unit
• Psychology Demystified  
• Massachusetts Driver's Manual

KM will also be continuing with her Chess Club, Youth Group and will be working on her bowling skills by attending a weekly jr. league as well as participating in the Kids Bowl Free program for some extra practice. She is trying to figure out a schedule to be able to volunteer at our library again, as she really enjoyed her time there last year. 

OH I almost forgot to mention we will be taking advantage of many of the Free Fun Friday events sponsored by the Highland Street Foundation!!!
