So we've adjusted our "curriculum" even further and at this point, we are basically UNschooling. I don't know why but nothing is working this year like it has in the past but I'm not going to stress about it. Beautiful Girlhood Bible study just plateaued...got very boring. Maybe we'll pick it up again next year. We did manage to make it to the halfway point with that. The Easy Grammar seems almost TOO easy as it seems to be mostly busy-work with stuff they already know. I think the way to go with both the girls on this is just to have them read, build their vocabulary, practice their spelling and have them write papers and I'll just correct the errors they make instead of having them do countless repetitive drill sheets on nouns and verbs!
I am still working through Brooke's math book with her. Her math skills are definitely improving so that's a huge plus and maybe taking some of the weight off her shoulders by canceling out other stuff will clear her mind to focus on this part even more.
Kayti is doing awesomely in her Algebra class. Thank you, Wendy Riley! She is an outstanding math teacher. Kayti has done a 180 degree turn around. I can't wait for Brooke to have her next year.
Speaking of CORE, I'm not really liking too many of the proposed classes for next year. Math may be the only class they take. I would love to have them take a Science because that's not really my strong point either but I don't like the 2-day Science classes and the tuition is much higher for Science as well.
So we're all basically just reading and doing math and exploring interests right now!
