We are currently on summer break, though over these next final weeks of July we will bring our lessons for academic year 08-09 to completion. DS will be completing his third year of grammar school and DD will be "graduating" from kindergarten. I have been deliberating on how to approach her next year since she doesn't actually turn six until October. Our compulsory attendance laws are six years old by September but I plan on providing for her a full first grade curriculum. I am not sure if the state allows a child to report early or if I should give myself another year before I officially begin reporting.
In the meantime, we are looking forward to completing his final lessons of Math and History; her Math and Phonics; my 09-10 lesson planning; and my newest addition to record keeping will be in the form of "record journaling." We will continue to keep everything in notebook format, but I will begin a daily journaling activity. It will definitely be an experiment but I look forward to the method since it will serve as an outlet for my writing and as a scrapbook keepsake perhaps we could call it "scrapping school." Hmm! A little out of the box for our traditional little homeschool. :-)
