The biggest and best thing that has been happening lately in our homeschool is that Lorena has been doing a bunch of the math correction for the last couple of weeks since I have had quite a heavy load at work. In addition, the kids have gotten a running start on Rosetta Stone Spanish II. They are really much more practiced at using Rosetta Stone than before. We are hoping to get through it fairly quickly so they can go on to a third language. Usually we have done one minor subject during the summers on something for which the accomplishment was very useful. For about four years, that something was typing. Now both the kids are proficient typists so I think Spanish will be a good replacement. The plan is to do one year of Rosetta Stone Spanish to give them a start in a second romance language, then go on to something harder–maybe Russian or Mandarin. I think next summer (not the coming one) will be a good time for them to spend a couple of months in Mexico with their grandparents. They will be old enough and nothing helps a language like immersion. It would also be nice to visit our friends in Quebec City for one of our church conventions so they could get a chance to try out some French.
Everything else is going well.The kids are on track with all their Sonlight books, Math, Science, and all the other regular subjects. We are still needing to get a few old things completed before we can go on to the new things we have prepared to start that I listed last month. Those new things are really great and we are chomping at the bit to get to them, but we really need to finish those other things well, first.
Kelly is almost ready to take here first CLEP test. I am hoping she will be able to do that sometime in March. I will report that as soon as it happens.
