So many possibilities...

It will soon be that time of the year again.  I've started talking with the boys about the subjects we will be covering this fall.  We have to take into account my work schedule and the amount of time we have support from our contract worker.

I had already bought materials for this fall but a windfall of books last week has opened up more choices for us.  a special thank you should go out to Donna from our homeschool group who found out about all of these hgh school texts needing new homes.  Her family also desrves thanks for putting up with the piles of books in the livingroom and diningroom over the last week.

The literature books have peaked my interest.  I have skimmed through the first few chapters and found them quite interesting.  The history or English lieterature is facinating.  I find myself going back to read it on my own.

Andrew is leaning towards more history this year while Josh would like to go very heavy on the sciences.  Both would like to learn more programming and computers.  So I will need to do some research into options there.

Have you started planning yet?

Strong academics are important but we also need to work on carefully selecting leisure time activities too.  Striking the right balance is a challenge.
