Graduation

We are officially done with school this year, however, Jane is still wrapping up her timeline and science project.  She's having fun with the science project, it's just hard to get the time with each participant.  She hasn't been able to finish the timeline because I have not gotten the roll of paper she needs!  But this is an art project for her, really.  She is copying the information that she's already recorded and color-coding the items.  One color for personal history (family births, deaths, etc), another color for historical events (presidents, wars, etc), and a third color for trivia (yo-yo invented and such).  Jane is an awesome reader; even with her dyslexia, she rocks at reading.  I plan to use the library a lot for her history, even for highschool.  Reading and writing papers.  As a Junior/Senior we may enroll at Pillar or even the community college.

We are having an eigth grade graduation party for her and another homeschool friend this Sunday.  A pizza party with ice cream sundaes for dessert.  She has picked our official school colors - I let her tell you what they are.

Now, that this year is over, I have to start planning for next year which will begin July 9th.  My biggest question is whether to do traditional simultaneous courses, or 6-10 week consecutive studies?  Of'course, at Ruth's level, she needs to do all her studies daily.  You'll hear soon what we decide!
