Welcome to my homeschooling rants and raves! I hope you enjoy your visit and come back again!
Once again Michaela wanted to start her day with Math by logging on to Time4Learning.com. Wonders will never cease! 
However, *this* time, she ran into a snag. Some of her lesson folders online are empty and she became concerned about this as it means she doesn't have assignments waiting for her. So we put a call in to Time4Learning. We are optimistic!
In the meantime, I guess we will acquaint ourselves with the new materials for all the subjects that arrived from Bob Jones. Right now, here is what Michaela, my 12 year old, is doing:
* Language Arts Grade 9 from Bob Jones - the HomeSat DVD
* World Studies Grade 7 from Bob Jones - the HomeSat DVD
* Life Science Grade 7 from Bob Jones, again, the HomeSat DVD - She switched from Physical Science (the 9th grade) program to this because she loves the teacher she has for Language Arts who also does the Life Science. Further, my kids and I have done a LOT of Physical Science over the years, but not as much Life Science, oddly enough. (My major in college for a while was Biology!) This should be a great opportunity.
* Math has been Time4Learning and we also purchased the 8th grade HomeSat DVD program from Bob Jones.
* Today we will get the Rosetta Stone Spanish 1 for both kids to try out as well. I am eager to see how that goes.
* Both kids and I are doing the 9th grade HomeSat DVD "That I May Know Him" bible class from Bob Jones. Of the three units that came this year with HomeSat, we like this one the best. It is a study of the gospel of Mark and has stimulated some good discussion.
Michaela just signed up for a music co-op to be a part of. Every other Friday, she will get to learn the flute, learn how to play in an orchestra, be in a choir and even use handbells! She is excited. I am, too, as she works so hard at academics, it will be fun for her to be able to plunge into music for much of two Fridays of the month.
All for now!
