We are finishing up another school year. Faith will be moving up to second grade, Jason on to 5th and Brooke will be in 10th. Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses as far as academics, and of course most areas. It makes it pretty interesting for me; every time I think I have a curriculum worked out for one I find it will probably not work for the other! I am blessed as all three really are able to do a great job! For the most part they like school and enjoy learning.
Next year we will find several changes in our schooling. The Tutorial that the kids have taken classes from is closing the bookstore portion and the owners will now each teach out of their own homes. My kids will be split between the two locations.
The other big change is that we will no longer be a part of a coop. We have enjoyed coops for the last 6 years. I really feel the need to clear my time to take Faith and Jason on all the field trips and outings that Brooke was able to enjoy. The older girls in the coop have simply grown in different ways and abilities.
It is a little sad to see so many changes all at once, but I know God has a perfect plan in it. As usual, through the course of the year I have seen God's hand in my curriculum choices and timing. One that stands out this year is the lecture we listened to the week after the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed. I brought up the CD lecture and the Title for the week was "444 Days, Islamic J'had." I had to laugh, I could never have planned it better! It is the little things that amuse me!
