[ValRN]

I have an average (could excel if he were a bit less lazy), put-as-little-effort-as-possible-into-anything-that-does-not-have-to-do-with-music ds. He wants to compose film scores. (God, thank you so much for this artistic son. Please help him realize that you put this passion in him for a reason. Please help him find what You have for him to do.) Luckily, this guy realizes that he needs a back-up plan and plans to double major in college. Here is what he'll be doing his senior year. I cannot wait to be done hsing this child. :cursing:

 

1. French 2 @ TPS

2. AP English Language & Composition with Debra Bell

3. College Algebra @ cc

4. Trig @ cc

5. Pre-AP Government

6. Pre-AP Physics OR Intro to Physics @ cc ???? Not sure about this.

7. 50-80 more hours of community service

8. For fun: youth orchestra, continue private lessons on trumpet & begin piano, music composition private lessons.

9. He would like to add Music Theory III & Ear Training Lab, Survey of American Music, and Classical & Romantic Music @ the cc. At this time, our budget for class is exhausted, so he'll have to come up with the money himself to take extra classes.

[dkholland]

Physics at local co-op

British Lit at home

Psychology SL at home

American Gov. At home

 

Still trying to decide but this is the latest that ds and I think will work. We only have one vehicle for us to share, and two other dc at home, so these outside classes have to work with everyone's schedule too. I don't want to spend productive hrs in the van YKWIM?:)

[Miss Marple]

Spanish 2 at local uni.

College algebra and trig at local university

Biology at local univ

US history at local univ

Continue literature study at home

A couple other courses at CC to finish the year. May try to figure out how to add a physics that is more advanced than the conceptual physics he took in 9 th

 

Hopefully he will spend his last 2 months of senior year at Capernwray Bible School in England like his older brother did.

[SkateLeft]

For the fall semester, my dd is currently registered for the following at her CC:

 

Technical Writing

Logic

US Politics

Western Civ I

 

But, it might change. We ran into some scheduling issues with math and physics, the two classes we'd most like to have her take at the CC. She can only be on campus on certain days because of other commitments.

 

So she *might* do math at the CC, and would be taking calculus. If not, I'll have to find a calc program!

 

We're thinking she'll do AP Physics B, probably through K12, if we can't fit physics into her CC schedule.

[Nissi]

C.S. Lewis : Major Works with Potters School Online ( one semester)

Spanish III with Potters School Online

[Donna in Sacramento]

The plan is firming up but not set in stone yet! My ds (oldest child), provided input, with guidance from me/DH, for next year. This is what we've come up with:

 

Language Arts: AP Eng Lit & Composition online (via Blue Tent Online)

 

Science: Apologia Biology via co-op (has already completed Conceptual Physics & Chemistry)

 

Social Sciences: US Government (fall) still working on that but might be Pre-AP via Debra Bell online or BJU Press Text here @ home (@ recent homeschool conference, he scoped out 4-5 curriculum choices and liked BJU Press a lot); Economics (spring)-Economics in a Box, which I'm very excited about

 

Bible/History: Sonlight Core 200 "History of God's Kingdom"(home)-but just the Bible/History of the Core. DS wants to study church history, and this looks like it will fit the bill well.

 

Electives: Photography (Fall)/Yearbook (Spring) @ co-op; "Masterpiece Art" (all year) @ homeschool co-op

 

Extracurricular: continue w/weekly Bass Guitar lessons & practice; membership in local fitness club (goes 3-4 times per wk); volunteers providing Tech Support for junior high and senior high worship (2 services) @ church; "Pit Crew" volunteer (h.s. students helping with children's pgm) once a month. May go on a Missions trip to Mexico next spring.

 

He is a creative type although he abhors that label, so I just keep that in mind when planning. :) He also is a good writer. He doesn't want to take math as a senior (would have been Alg 2 if he did) but we've advised him that, if needed, he can always make up any shortfall at the CC.

 

He will attend the local community college after he graduates from high school next May. His plan, with our blessing, is to transfer to a Christian college. He is very interested in Music, History, and Ministry. Will be interesting to see what God has in store for him!

 

Younger DS, 15,(public h.s. due to avid sports participation) is a completely different creature. Makes for a very interesting life, never a dull moment! :)

Welcome, Donna in Sacramento!

Kareni

[AngieW in Texas]

Still not sure and part of this will depend on what she can actually register for at the cc.

My dd should be able to get permission to take an overload (more than 2 classes) at the cc for next year.

 

She is taking Chemistry I for chemistry majors at the cc this summer.

 

For fall she will take

Chemistry II (at cc)

Biology I (at cc)

Government I (at cc)

Calculus I (at cc) if she can, but they strongly dislike starting anybody higher than Precalculus regardless of what the placement test shows. If they won't place her in Calculus I, then we'll do it at home and take the AP test.

English - she already did English I and II at the cc and she has no interest in taking a full-on literature course, so she is going to take the Fantasy and Sci Fi literature course through coursera this summer and also participate in Movies as Literature with her younger sister.

 

Spring

Biology II at cc

Programming Fundamentals at cc

Government II at cc

Calculus II at cc or continue with Calculus at home, depending on placement in fall, might possibly take Statistics instead of Calculus II

English - continue with Movies as Literature

Kareni,

 

Thank you! We were new to homeschooling this school year. I've been looking at WTMF periodically since last fall-and it's been so helpful! I was reluctant to post for fear of not doing it right, still trying to figure out all the lingo, abbreviations, and enhancements. :)

[Tammyla]

DD will graduate in December, and this is the first year in a long time that I have no planning done:confused:. I'm going back and forth with dual enrollment options.

 

 

I'm in desperate need of a motivating thread to kick my rear into gear. Thank you all.

[Nan in Mass]

Not really homeschooling any more!!!!!

 

My son will be doing Histoire/Géographie 3e with me at home, and the rest will be at the community college. The first semester he will be doing Calc 1, Physcis 1, and Intro Bio 1. The second semester he will be doing Calc 2, Physics 2, and probably java and composition.

I've found that posters here are very helpful, so post away. (It does help to use the search function to see if there have been prior discussions on a given topic.)

 

I know that I've seen a list of abbreviations somewhere -- ah, try here.
