Our School Year 2011-2012

This year we are homeschooling an 11th grader, a 7th grader and a 4th grader.  It has its challenges :).  For our 11th grader: One Year Adventure Novel, Switched on Schoolhouse: American History, Switched on Schoolhouse: Geography, Easy Grammar, Answers In Genesis: Astronomy, Rosetta Stone: Spanish.  Although this doesn't seem like a full curriculum for an 11th grader, it is more than he needs because he already has taken so many things due to my over zealousness previous years that this year and next year are pretty much going to be a breeze ;).  7th grader: My Father's World: Exploration to 1850, Switched on Schoolhouse: 7th grade Science, Switched on Schoolhouse: 7th grade English, Rosetta Stone: Spanish, Teaching Textbooks 7.  4th grader: My Father's World: Exploration to 1850 w/ Science, Switched on Schoolhouse: Math 4, Bob Jones University: Spelling 6, Handwriting I make, Queen Language Lessons for the Elementary Child, Rosetta Stone: Spanish.
I think that's everything.  Next year our 4th going to be 5th grader will be doing Switched on Schoolhouse 5th grade and Rosetta Stone: Spanish, our 7th going to be 8th grader we are still unsure about, she needs like a video instruction and workbook setup and A Beka just seems too expensive..... We like Teaching Textbooks for that very reason, it works well for her, but its only math. Any suggestions?  And our 11th going to be 12th grader will be One Year Science Fiction Novel and Easy Grammar OR Switched on Schoolhouse English IV, Rosetta Stone: Spanish II, Switched on Schoolhouse: Government and Economics, Drafting & Design (can't remember titles), Possibly Robotics (maybe Lego) or Programming of some sort, and Switched on Schoolhouse: Consumer Math.
In our co-op this semester our 4th grader is taking: Lego Robotics, 3D Art and It's A Mystery. Our 8th grader is taking Wonders of the World, Game On and Sign Language. And our 11th grader is taking Book Club, Game On and CSI.
It has been a pretty full year, but I love it!
God Bless,
Jen
