Continuing the Journey

I’ve been on my homeschooling journey for twelve years now… a little more if you count pre-school. My oldest is preparing to graduate this spring (May, 2008). A few weeks ago we completed Volume 5. Because of many interruptions and side-tracks, we’ve only been through the volumes once. I’m thrilled to be able to say we’ve accomplished that! But, we’re not ready to go back to Genesis just yet. We want to continue the journey of the New Testament churches in the Bible.

Some other Weaver moms have taken on the challenge of writing lessons that will take students through the remainder of the NT. My job is to edit those lessons, add activities where needed, and place everything into a .pdf document. I am having a blast! I spend every spare moment working on this, going over things again and again to be sure everything is consistent in formatting, to be sure there are no typos, and to make it user-friendly.

Unfortunately, my spare moments are few and far between–maybe an hour each day, or two if I’m lucky. But, I’m almost finished with the first unit. I have been teaching from the material as I go, so I have to get it done!

There is so much great stuff here, I have a feeling it will be a two-year program. But that’s okay. My youngest is in second grade this year. I’ll be on this journey for awhile!
