Our Week Ahead ~ Monday 19th Sept 2016 (Tentative Planning for 2017)

With just 9 weeks of history and literature work left on our schedule both of the children are starting to feel pretty motivated, and at about this point is when they start pushing encouraging me to help them get through the work load quicker.
Jay is really looking forward to having all his Reader Responses completed and the last one submitted to Te Kura  (NZ Correspondence School) this week, then he'll start working on a research paper.
Daisy has upped her workload on Essentials in Literature, and, Essentials in Writing so that she can complete both courses this year.  
Added to this hive of activity from them, I've started to idea toss about what we're going to do next year.  It will be the first year that I only have one student doing a history based learning year, as Jay will be focusing on his final year of educating at home which includes extra-curricular courses, a world view course, and a christian counselling study.
Daisy now has the option of studying through any era of history she'd like to over the next two years and we'll match and patch the literature content in.
