Our little school is changing a lot this year, not only with our schedule. The girls are actually doing two sciences, each, this year. Well, eventually three.
Of course, we are still following the Well-Trained Mind for the science. Jesse is back to the Earth and the universe, not her favorite. Chloe is doing physics, which of course she loves because it is all experiments. But this year Spectrum put out science workbooks. Thank you, Spectrum! They are workbooks that simply restate the information for the national guidelines.
I bought each child two books: one for the grade they are in and one for the grade they were in last year. I wanted to back track just to verify they are on track. Yes, I could take them to be tested (a friend of mine does it); however, I am not. Anyway. Jesse has never been one to love, or even like science. I know, shocking, right? Tuesday night she told, quite excitedly, "I love the new science!" Yeah!! Home run! I needed one of those.
Eventually, we are going to start the Homeschool Mondays at the Zoo. Where we have been going for science just cut out a lot of their classes, but didn't add any back (the last time I checked), so we were looking for a new place to go. The zoo will be quite a bit more expensive, but the first class was great and John felt it would be worth it (he was with us during the first class). We are even going to schedule, at least one class, on John's day off so he can go too. :)
So, YEAH for school and YEAH for science!
