We are busy trying to wrap things up for the year. We have one more week of school and then we are on break until January. Everyone is progressing well. It just seems that I never get everything accomplished that I have planned.
The 3 older kids are in the process of watching How to become a Superstar Student by Tim McGee. He has taught for many years at Worland High School in Wyoming. This is a course that instructs high school students in how to improve basic study skills and develop a true love of learning. The goal in education is to teach a love them how to learn. This is better achieved when the student has the confidence and the tools needed to succeed. More to come after they have completed the series.
Math is probably the most successful subject in our home right now. Everyone is doing well. Jonathan loves numbers much more than letters. He is about to finish his K Math book and will be moving on to the 1st grade book. I have to say it again.... I love Teaching Textbooks! It is allowing everyone to be successful and learn.
My goals for the week are to wrap up everything in all subjects. They have many exams to take that will put them at a good stopping point.
We are all looking forward to some down time. Although it will still be a busy month. The 2 older kids still have classes in the co op until Dec. 18th. But it will still be a much lighter load.
Christmas is such a wonderful time. My goal is to make sure we all remember why we celebrate. I never want to lose sight of our Savior in this busy time.
