Isaac's School Plan

School Planning: High School

That would be Isaac. He’s in 10^th grade this year. Several of his courses are technically Grade 11. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a year ahead. He’s doing ALL his core courses with BJU Press Online Distance Learning. I’ve come to the place where I technically could teach these subjects, but I have difficulty doing them justice with the time in my day. I did feel a little bad when I found an old note from Isaac that said, “I’m glad I have a mom who can teach me algebra.”  We got lost in Saxon Algebra 2 and with its spiraling style I couldn’t figure out where we got off track. No biggie – he’s a 10^th grader. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!

Here’s the short version:

American History

Algebra 2

Chemistry

Spanish 1

Writing and Grammar 10

Literature 10

For Bible, I’m combining Isaac and Hannah and teaching the Bible Truths C. (A BJU Press book – but not the one used for distance learning.) He’ll continue working in Balancing the Sword and watch a lot of online sermons.

Other extras – a little bit of Rosetta Stone, a little bit of music theory & piano & maybe guitar, continue photography, Haiti trip, lead some P.E. days with the younger children, and spend some time at the gym.

I’d love to do Spanish 1 with him “just for fun” – I can probably do it through the first couple of weeks. LOL!  Ja, Ja, Ja!

I chose Online because of online grading. I’ll admit it. I have a very difficult time keeping up with the grading of high school subjects. I’ll still have “homework” grading to do and test essay questions and wrting assignments– but they tell me what things to spot check. J
