nukeswife Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi all, I'm just bored and curious, we just finished week 11 on Saturday. What week is everyone else on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We are on week 16. We started early August and had two weeks off already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgilli3 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We dont count the weeks we school.- all I know is that we have finished another year of schooling -:D Our school year follows the southern hemisphere's. We began early Feb, and have now finished until Feb next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in Central TX Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We started school on July 28th and took a week off in September, October, and November; therefore, we are finishing up our 18th week of school this week. This is the halfway point for us in our 36-week school schedule. We will start our 3-week Christmas break next Monday, and the second half of school begins on January 12th.

coffeefreak Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Technically, we had 21 weeks. We started in June, took off July, moved in September/October (two weeks off) and I was sick one week. WOW! All that and I still had 21 weeks! HS tracker says my dd has been in school 91 days:001_smile:! I'm doing better than I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I believe we are in week 18 since we are halfway done. We started mid-July and roughly followed a 6 weeks on / 2 weeks off schedule. This week and the week of Thanksgiving were very light but we had some very hard working heavy weeks in there and no illnesses or other things come up, so we are right on track. We will start back January 4th or 5th or whatever that Monday is. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 My big boys are on week 17, because we keep pace with their tutorial. I had started middle ds a week early, because he is doing WP S&S. I had wanted a clean break- doing Sea before Christmas break and Sky after Christmas break- but alas we lost that week somewhere.:confused: My little guy is on week 20. He likes to check things off his list and this helps. He started slowly in July. Although he is on week 20, the first week we just did Kumon math and CLE LTR. Then we added other material as the weeks went by. Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In theory, last week should have been week 15 and our last week of the semester. However, we took off or mostly off two weeks I had not anticipated. So, my son is working the days he has available this week (when he's not dancing) to catch up in the two online classes. He may run into early next week, too, at the rate he's progressing. So, I suppose we're in week 16, except that we're scheduled for only 30 weeks for the whole year, and week 16 should be the beginning of our second semester . . .

WTMindy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We are in the middle of week 13 and then we'll take 2 weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We're mid-way through week 14. We were supposed to finish week 15 before Christmas but at the end of last week, the girls were feeling ill, and this week we are just getting ready for Christmas. Break was supposed to start tomorrow but began a few days early. I'm hoping for a power January and February with no flu bug this year. We are doing a D.C. trip in June with our co-op group and that eats into my last week of formal school. I would like to do more school in summer but between summer camps, VBS, and trip to the grandparents, it just doesn't happen. Now I'm babbling ... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ds5 is on week 20 once we start back (Jan 5) and ds9 will be on week 18 when we start back. :) 94 and 84 days respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori in MS Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We will finish week 14 of our history/science curriculum this week. It has 34 weeks of work. We did 2 weeks of 3 rs before we started this curriculum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We just finished week 17. I'd like to finish up the first half before we break for Christmas, but it's just not worth it to me to try to start school a week earlier than everyone else (and hear the moaning) or to skip taking off for Thanksgiving week (which we can really use by then). So we'll finish up the half the week we get back and then start on our second half activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 It sounds like you all are so much further along than us. It's been such a weird year for us. Dh's schedule has been crazy and what we had planned is now being changed since he made XO. I'm hoping to make up some time by having a hard working January and February. My parents have changed a trip they had planned to come see us from Feb to June so that should help a bit, since no schooling ever gets done when they are here. Also my dh will be gone most of Jan and part of Feb so that usually means we buckle down and catch up on things we've let fall to the wayside. Thanks for giving me a peak into your years.

Mallory Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We're only on week 7. Had a baby in mid Aug. and haven't really recovered since then.

Aurelia Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We're on week 24, but this month we're only covering math and reading for "school" and everything else is just learning through life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieMonster Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We are on week 17 of this school year. If you add in the two weeks we took off, we have been at it for 19 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Oldest ds will pick up with week 20 or 21 (can't remember which, and there's a purring kitty on my lap at the moment so I don't want to check), after our Christmas break. My littles are all over the place and I don't really keep track. I'd say week 10 for history, week 15 or so for LA, and who knows for math and such. We school year round and completed MFW Adventures last month and then picked up SL Core 1 at week 8, when the world cultures stuff ends(which we've already read over and over), and the history with CHOW begins.

Lovedtodeath Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have no idea. I need to get better at this. We are a little more than 1/3 through MUS Alpha... so that is the best approximation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole M Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 #2 son only just finished week 10. My father in law died in October, and that threw a monkey wrench in our schedule, with travel and general stress. My older son, who is doing some classes at the CC, finished his first quarter and week 16 in his studies at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momtolgd Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We are finishing week 12 this week, although a few of those weeks were light. We also took a month off to move when we bought our house. We will school into the summer to make up for that month. I feel a bit behind, but it will end up ok.

mamaof2andtwins Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't count weeks. I use HST and it tells me we have completed 90 days. This is half of my school year. It is 18 weeks. I am happy to be ending the second quarter of the year. I am ready to be on vacation. We are winding down a lot this week, and then we will be off for 2 weeks.

RootAnn Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Week 15 for us. We will be taking the next two weeks off except for a few items (like science experiments, arts & crafts, and extra history reading) that we will continue to do as the kids seem restless. I need to firm up my do-it-myself earth science curriculum for next semester before we start back up the second week of January! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamturner Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 We started on August 4th so we're finishing week 18. I'm planning on doing 38 weeks though since we eased into all our subjects and we will finish most on week 36 but others by week 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwynn Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 We also started on Aug 4, but we're in week 20. We haven't taken off that much time, and no full weeks off yet. A few days here and there, but then we make it up on weekends or call it a "lite" week. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami in UT Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 We are finishing week 11 out of 32. We had a hard go in Aug and Sept. It just wasn't clicking like I thought it should.
