It's Official... Sort of...

Alexis' 8th Grade Year is mapped out, and we are almost set to go.  Her official First Day of School will begin on 8/22, which is the same day that Amanda starts her fall semester of college. 

I expect it will be a crazy busy year, but prayerfully it should be a good one.  I am thrilled that we decided together to use Sonlight Core 200 as the main focus of Alexis' academic year.

With much pondering and prayer, her year will look like this: 

Bible - Sonlight Core 200
History - Sonlight Core 200
Weekly Current Events - God's World - Trek, On-line News, & Newspaper
Language Arts - Literature - Sonlight 200 & Homeschool Class
L/A - Writing - IEW through Homeschool Class
L/A - Spelling - Apples Daily Spelling Drills #2
L/A - Vocabulary - Sadlier Oxford & Sonlight Core 200
L/A - Reading Comp. - The History of Medicine
Math - PreAlgebra - Abeka and/or Chalk Dust (long story...)
Science - Apologia Exploring Creation with General Science
Art - Abeka Watercolor - Co-op Class - 1/2 credit
Public Speaking/Debate - Homeschool Class - 1/2 credit
Latin - Latin for Children, (we started this last year, but did not have success.  We will try again, and may go with a virtual class if it doesn't work) 

It is a comfort to have this puzzle mostly figured out.  (Reminding myself here to stay flexible to the Lord's prompting.)  My sweet girl's "Workboxes" are almost completely set up, minus a few needed school supplies.  Now I must find space somewhere in my home for the miscellaneous books that we will not be using...  I wonder if anyone around here would be observant enough to notice if I hung them from the ceiling???
