We do have a crazy doctor schedule in April for both me and her, along with extra drama class practices and the performance, and an extra flute rehearsal and performance with a choir. So, I'll have to see when May rolls around how well we managed our schedule in April. Amber is basically resigned to school in June, so will be happily surprised if / when we can lighten her load.
I would have loved to take yesterday off from school and enjoy the sun we finally have, except this week was already fraught with several disturbances. Looking ahead to next week, we will have to be diligent and dedicated to accomplish any school work at all because of unexpected changes to our schedule. I actually changed the schedule a couple of times and this last iteration is the worst and unfortunately the needed one.
This smile won the "Best Smile" superlative with our homeschool group, as voted on by the high school and middle school students. We think it's pretty fantastic too |
We also finished the entire set of Drive Thru History - The Gospels this week. It was informative and rather enjoyable. We actually miss our end of the day dose of The Gospels now. I am considering looking for a replacement video series for us to watch, yet Amber still has other subjects that might have more priority on our time given we are attempting to finish the school year before June.
Amber has been progressing well through her online computer skills course, and surprising me with her comprehension of the subject matter. Again, this has been a huge positive for us and Amber is gaining knowledge she needed but would not happily allow her comp sci parents to teach. That whole situation still baffles me as she lets us instruct her in every other aspect of learning, except where we have degrees.
Essay writing class - she loves the video lessons. |
Amber and her friends spent last evening working on the homeschool group's yearbook and they are coming close to the end of the year. Only a few more events before the yearbook will be completed and sent to print. Originally, I was hoping that yearbook would be a co-op class again next year instead of a club outside of co-op time like it became this school year. However, with the possible restrictions in space and time for co-op next year it looks like a club style yearbook might work out better. One less class to take up space, and the girls are all accustomed to the club style at this point.

I'm off to finish a review for Amber's online computer skills course! Look for it coming out on Monday. We're every so pleased with the class.
Happy Sunny, Spring Weekend!!!

You all make so much progress each week. I am taking the week off this week. We need a break. We will be doing educational field trips and such, but mostly cleaning, resting and organizing.

I love that your homeschool group has it's own yearbook; that's awesome!
