Hi. My name is Erika. I'm homeschooling my 4 dc (Noelle-13, Brandon-10, Shelbi-8, Bella-5). This is our fourth year homeschooling.
I rarely post, but certainly frequent the boards to gain valuable insight and advice into this journey I feel I'm still beginning. I am amazed at the wisdom present on these boards, and honestly feel I don't have much to contribute. Hopefully one day I will feel seasoned enough to share my recommendations, etc.
I have been married to my husband (an active duty Army officer) for 14 years. We met my freshman year at Wake Forest and began dating immediately, so we've pretty much been dating and/or married my entire adult life!
I began homeschooling because I felt completely called by God to follow His lead in this area. I started out following a CM approach using Ambleside Online. I've definitely morphed and now incorporate primarily classical ideas and methodology into our homeschool.
That's about all for now. Thank you to all of the regular/frequent posters on this and the old board. You couldn't possibly know what a help you've been to me personally throughout the past few years!
Blessings.

I have the Hewitt's Conceptual Physics textbook. Did you use this as a year long course, or simply have your dc read through it. If you used this as a conceptual physics year-long course, how did you incorporate labs, etc? Did you create a schedule, or were you able to find a plan online somewhere?
Thanks!

I will check into the program at NM Tech. I hadn't even thought of having her take ACTs or SATs yet though it seems that many highly academic summer programs are requiring these tests. Do you have a general plan that you are following for the next few years? Is it tailored toward acceptance into an undergraduate atmospheric sciences program or are his interests leading him in another direction? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Would you please share your general high school plan for maths/sciences. I'm in the process of laying out a rough 4 year plan for a student with a strong interest in atmospheric sciences. She is currently taking geometry (8th grade), having finished Algebra I, and is currently working through Spectrum (chemistry), but will need to revisit both biology and chemistry in high school. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks in advance.
Are you lurking and not posting????

I would love to become a regular poster...I have many questions, and probably information to share as well. Truth be told, it is somewhat intimidating. I sure would love to become a larvae!
