2021 School Year Here We Come


Nothing like a new school year to get you all excited about curriculum and learning goal!  I love planning so Merry’s cart has been prepped, restocked with supplies, and waiting for September since early July.


Despite it being a very full cart, there are some subjects that aren’t even on the cart, namely her computer programming course which will be completely online through “CompuScholars” (https://www.compuscholar.com/homeschool/). Her other elective will also be online. A digital art class though “school house teacher”, she’ll be learning how to use Inkscape (https://schoolhouseteachers.com/school-subjects/art/inkscape-online-adventure/).

She’ll still be doing her core subjects with me, and we’ve found our groove, so to speak, with those curriculums.

Math will once again be Life of Fred. She is now in Trigonometry. Science will be Apologia again, this year she is in Chemistry. And writing will be WriteShop, starting book 2 this year.



History, we took a break from last year but will be using Notgrass again. She’ll be doing American History. To go along with the history she’ll be studying American Literature as well. The curriculum for that will be Lightning Literature. While she’s used that curriculum before this will be her first time with the high school level.



Which just leaves one more subject, for her notably full load, Latin. She will be continuing to use Latin Alive, but since she is now beyond my level of Latin we have decided to put her in an online class. Unlike the other online classes, which are independent study, this will be a classroom setting with a teacher and other student for her to interact with. And since it is a completely new set up she will be retaking level 3. 

So there are the plans for next year. Always subject to change of course. We’ll see how much she is able to keep up without being overwhelmed by the amount of work. But I’m excited!
