First day of homeschool 2015-2016

Two down, two to go. Homeschool students that is. Both Hayley and Trevor have graduated from homeschool now and are exploring their options for the future. Colin and Tristan remain with Colin being in 12th grade and Tristan 10th. After this year I'll have only one homeschooler left as Colin will graduate. As it is only Tristan is in our first day photo this year. Colin is mature and ready to make more of his own decisions and well...he just didn't want to be in the picture!

This year Colin will tie up any loose ends (math) and start looking into what he would like his next step to be. He is a smart, strong, hard working young man I'm sure there will be many possible paths he can take.

Tristan will be using the following materials, resources and classes this year: Math U See Algebra, Jump In writing curriculum, Spelling U See, Combination of Diana Waring's History Alive and Story of the World for ancient history/world history (depending on how far we get). Biology self designed labs and study, Zoology through lapbooking at co-op (with me as the teacher, have 18 students signed up for that class!!), Drama classes at co-op, this year there focusing on Shakespeare and Tae Kwon Do classes. He will also have a robotics set to work on just for fun and has expressed an interest in photography so we'll see if we can come up with any classes or resources for that interest.

Tristan first day of 10th grade.
