So I got over (mostly) feeling sorry for myself this morning and did get some dishes done and some work done and we started school. School started with using a form from Donna Young's collection of homeschool forms to tally what my youngest son has done and needs to do. I already had one mostly done on my daughter. She only needs a few things to finish, geometry, health/PE, English, foreign language and world history. My youngest has been doing a lot of work along with his sister and is ahead of where he should be. Since he has dysgraphia/dyslexia, he needs to do some work on literacy so that will be his focus. He's got to do Algebra 2 and world history, foreign language, English, health/PE and a few other things, but it won't be a problem trying to fit them all in in the next 3 years. At all. He might finish next year.
Anyway, so for right now, we have started. I've got a spelling book coming in the mail and they are designing their own world history study based on the world history timeline book I bought a few years ago. It was funny when we had our meeting, I told them to clean up the living room and my daughter asked if, when I went to public school, if I had had to do cleaning. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do remember helping clean the classroom at the end of the year, beating erasers, cleaning the chalkboard and even sweeping out the bus. So I told them if they want it to be like public school, expect cleaning and also promised to bully them a little bit later, if they want. They didn't.
So.
We've begun.
