It's been a week (almost)




Technically it's Wednesday, which means Morgan has been at school for a week, and we have been in our 2011-2012 school year for one week. Homeschooling is going great so far, isn't it always the first week?? LOL. I really have been impressed with howon top of things the kids seem to be this year.

Jeffery is a junior in high school. (I know! I can't believe it either!) He's taking Human Anatomy and Physiology, Algebra II, American Government, British Literature, Grammar, and ACT prep. These classes will be a lot of work, and I'm sure he's going to do great! Jeffery is singing in choir again this year, and has joined Lifelight Youth Theatre.

Christopher is a freshman in high school. (Wow! How did that happen?? It seems like just yesterday he was itty bitty...) He's taking Algebra I, American History, American Literature, Grammar, and Biology. He's still involved in choir and Lifelight, and is joining band this year.

Tori is in 8th grade. She has Pre-Algebra, Grammar, Physical Science, American History, American Literature, and Health. She is still involved in choir, Lifelight, band, and piano lessons. For first semester she is also taking some dance classes. A very busy young lady who is going to be learning time management skills along the way!

Ben is in 6th grade and tackling the Eastern Hemisphere forhistory and geography this year. So far he is loving it! He will also be studying the Land Animals, health, math, and grammar. Ben is doing Lifelight and continuing on the trumpet in band this year.

Morgan is doing very well at Lindenwood! He loves all of his classes... mostly. He has a cultural anthropology that is going to be a tough class. If last year's Comp I with Hickenlooper is any indication, however, Morgan succeeds in classes that are tough. I've been really proud of how he has handled himself so far. He was inchurch Sunday, he's studying, he's getting where he needs to be when he needs to be there. I know what you're going to say: he should be able to do those things, he is 18 after all. "Morgan was born older." Isn't that what I've always said? Hehe. He has grown up into quite the young man!

As promised, here are some pictures of his dorm. (I forgot to get pics after they had everything set up. After the outside visitors ban is lifted in a few weeks I'm hoping to get back in there and take some pics. We'll see.)
