Planning Ideas

 Although we school year-round and our school year doesn't usually coincide with normal school years....this time it will.  We will probably be finished with almost everything in May.  I feel a bit unfortunate about this, because summer is usually a bad time to order homeschool materials - especially since so many people have pulled their kids from school this year.  I remember trying to order things last summer and everything was out of stock, etc.

I can not decide what to do after May.

I really wanted to combine the 13 and 16 year-olds, but after talking to them and thinking about it, there is no way I can combine them.  It's way too much of an age and ability gap, especially since teens take huge developmental leaps at 16/17.  The younger one wouldn't be able to keep up.

I'm thinking about following The Brave Learner for the summer and see how we like it.  This isn't really a curriculum, but more of an eclectic routine.

I plan to sit down with the book this weekend and take notes/map out my ideas.
