High School

Here is a great online option for high school:  www.wacademy.org.  They now have divided up all classes so that you just enroll and pay for the online class you take. It explains how they do math, science, fine arts, and PE  - a week-long canyoneering excursion.  It is expensive, but it might be that you are looking for one-or-two classes to take not everything.  WA is now also working with LEMI, the master-minds behind the commonwealths, to give students who complete the commonwealth classes (all but Shakespeare) a full year of high school credit.

Taylor took Alaina to her Grandma's house to learn about gardening.

She had a great time too:) Lucky!

They also went to a mine and they even were able to pan for gold. They both did get some gold to bring home. I wish my school days could of been more "FUN".

Mr. Nassar was a great speaker. It was very enjoyable to hear him tell us his story. We did buy his book, My Brother's Voice.

We plan to read it in a few weeks.

Ponder, it helps clear your mind and relax.

I didn't post pictures but I also had the kids one day put face masks on and cucumbers on their eyes. Then I turned on that kinda Spa music- relaxing stuff and I tell them let all their worries and cares go, let it go right out your toes. It's important to teach your children how to let go of stress and know some ways to relax.

Our weekly peace place we visit.

One could never write enough. Journal:)

I also Love the idea of Pen-Pals. Andrew already has one.

Soon the girls will too! It's fun and they get excited when their Pen-Pals write them.

I am leaving for a few weeks:) I will post pictures when I return. I am really excited! Happy Teaching Parents:)
