A is for Academics (Alphabet Style Updating!)

Yes, Yes we are still alive here!

It has been ages since I posted.  I had such plans for posting far more frequently.

I even planned to join in a new round of Blogging Through The Alphabet which is now hosted by the lovely Amanda at Hopkins Homeschool and Kirsten from Doodlemom.

Since I am weeks behind I thought I'd do an update of sorts Alphabet Style!

A is for Academics!


Boobear applied to a few local grad school programs. I am so thrilled and proud to announce that she was accepted by her first choice school and will be starting the Masters in Social Work program this fall!

Turtlegirl finished up her 2nd year at University and will be heading back in the fall for her third year.  She received recognition from the Foreign Language Department as an outstanding second year German student!  Did I tell you that she is now officially a Pre-Law student? She's majoring in Philosophy with a minor in German.

Tailorbear rocked her first year at technical college and is really thriving as part of the Digital Entertainment and Technologies program.  She will be continuing to take classes this summer and is registered for a full course load for both summer and fall.  Oh and her spring term? 4.0!  Yes, yes I am bragging just a bit!

Tailorbear started her her classes this week and is super excited about her Digital Art and Photography class.  She's been taking pictures in black and white and I asked her if I could have one for this post.  She let me use this one of Bug.  She is still getting to know the camera.  This photo hasn't been touched up at all.

Supergirl continues with her home education.  Recently we started the Intermediate Level (3rd & 4th grade) from Bible Study Guide For All Ages.  I absolutely adored this program when I used Unit 1 with ALL of the girls years ago and Supergirl enjoyed using the Primary for a few lessons a few years ago.



Supergirl is also continuing with Reading Eggs for some phonics reinforcement.  Our subscription ended in the summer and I actually purchased a year subscription for her.  The crew had the opportunity to review Max Scholar so we've been using that a few times a week as well.

We took a break from our American History studies but are back at it again.  We've added an American History for Beginners course from SchoolhouseTeachers.com (affiliate link) to go along with the YWAM Publishing books we've been using and TruthQuest.

Just this week we started playing with rocks.  Well sort of!  We'll be reviewing the Rocks and Minerals for Little Eyes Kit from Northwest Treasures.  This week I read through the Text and came up with a plan with Turtlegirl.  Turtlegirl, Honeybear, and I all sat down and watched the 20 minute video Taking the Mystery out of Geology   Supergirl watched most of it with us but mostly it was good information for Turtlegirl and I to understand Mr. Nurre's approach.



I am so looking forward to growing crystals and making rock lava candy!  We'll also get to make a clay model earth, explore a density column and split rocks with water!

So I've got summer school covered for Supergirl.  Maybe I should start thinking about a fuller schedule for the fall?

Are you doing school this summer? What are you studying?
