We started the transition out of homeschool this month. It really caught me by surprise. We always had a plan, so I do not know how it snuck up on us so fast. I will talk about all of that in another post. In our plan, Kelly will be a half-time homeschool student until the end of the 2010 when she will transition from a half-time load at college to a full-time regular student. Christian’s plan is to spend half-time in college and half-time in homeschool through the end of the school year. We are still organizing all this, but we believe we have most of the permissions we need from the college to move forward with our plan. There are only a few CLEP tests left to take. Kelly will take the ACT once more while Christian will take it twice. I will try to describe the whole transition with the help of the kids. There are many things to consider. Volunteer work, internships, summer programs, athletic activities, etc. We look forward to making this all happen.
Special note: The last four or five weeks were busy with travel, work, visitors, and test preparation. It was a challenge to write, not only because of the busyness, but because of my own attitude. I had planned to back way off on the blogging as the kids transitioned out of homeschool. Yesterday, though, I ran into Lynn from A Mother’s Journal at a church event. We had a very brief visit in the hallway that inspired me to get back into the blogging habit after this short hiatus. I realized there are still a lot of things about which to write and that I like to write. Thanks Lynn!
