heritagelearningacademy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Okay, this may be silly, but I am thinking of having my son's summer dog sitting/walking business be an elective. He has had to make a flyer and distribute them in the neighborhood, he has to manage a calendar and calculate his earnings, he has to balance his time, etc. to do this all. My plan is to have him write a summary of what he learned this summer from the business. Is that a stretch? Thanks. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Do you submit a 7th grade trascript to someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagelearningacademy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 No, but I am "practicing" entering all that kind of stuff so we can have our official high school transcripts begin in 8th grade. He will be doing some high school level stuff then. I am all about getting a year under my belt of what it entails for a transcript and record keeping.

Melissa B Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 In that case I would do it. It seems fine for jr. high and it would be especially good for you. You can practice how you would like to pull things together, prepare descriptions, assign credit, etc. if you plan on adding some out-of-the-box electives to his high school transcript. You will probably try a few different ways and finally settle on a system you are comfortable with and can utilize again for some of his high school credits. I've found it very useful using the jr. high years to experiment with how we want things to go in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have it down pat by High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
