Reposting my 2022-2023 School Plans

 I've had all summer to try out these plans, so I am reposting them, including the things I added over the summer.  We school year-round and don't necessarily follow the school year, but I think these things will get us to next summer.  It's a lot.

10th Grader

Geometry (1 credit)

• Mathusee Geometry
• Horrible Maths' series Savage Shapes
• Any project-based geometry books I find at the library.  I have A Blueprint for Geometry: Math Projects Series.  We will do that this year, too.  They learn how to read blueprints and design a house

Science - maybe finish 2024 (1 credit Biology, 1 credit Astronomy)

• We're spending 2 years alternating between biology and astronomy

• We are planning to spend one afternoon a week with another homeschool friend, working on electronics projects and robotics
• I'm looking at Radio Shack's Lost in Space and Lego Robot Inventor.  Also different soldering kits on Amazon and some simple electronic kits (like build a radio)
• I would like to find some junk electronics that they could disassemble
• Spend some time with the Raspberry Pi 3b+ that we put together last fall

Physical Education (0.5 credit)

Extracurriculars

• Teaching gymnastics
• Youth Group at church

Music Appreciation

• Learning with Legos
• Intro to Theater

Extracurriculars

• Cub Scouts
• Karate
• Youth Group at church
• Sports league for little kids (they do baseball, football, soccer, basketball)

I hope I'm not forgetting anything.  It's hard to remember all of this.

Editing to Add:  We don't do everything every day.  That's just not possible.  Also, I alternate enrichment items like Funschooling books, math projects, etc.  We might do those only once a week.  

I do not have a schedule or checklist this year.  I don't see the need to have one now that I am only homeschooling two kids.  I have materials organized by subject in individual book bins (see my recent organizational post) and we go down the row of bins every day and work on whatever they're interested in working on that day.
