Ideas for Homeschooling High School

There are lots of brand new homeschooler starting high school this year.

What worked for you and what did not work? How do you make a push for independence? How do  you set up school work accountability? Will you work in dual credits? AP classes (where did will your kids take these tests? Did you get your material approved for AP?), will you do dual enrollment? College classes? Online classes? Any non textbook things you plan to use?
Oh, the list seems endless!

Freshen Up Your Homeschool Today With Schoolhouseteachers.com!

Those muggy days of summer are upon us! Does your homeschool need freshened up?

One of my favorite homeschool sites is The School House Teachers website. For one low prices you get preschool-12 grade, classes, videos, lesson plans, fun stuff like guitar lessons, art techniques for the lower grades. And tough stuff like biology and algebra for the upper grades. Try a month for free using the coupon code TRIAL (all caps). Then just pay $12.95 each month after.

I have been a member of Schoolhouse Teachers for several years and there is always something new! There are classes that your student can take and they even explain how to give credits for high school for the upper level classes. If you hop around in your homeschool like many of us do, there are archived lesson plans, so no need to be tied down to the computer each day.
 

Don't just veg out!! Do something fun in your homeschool today!

Something that I have liked about Schoolhouse Teachers website is that I have always felt comfortable letting the homeschooled young man freely surf their website. He has actually learned a lot just by goofing around on the site during his free time. Remember the cool think about homeschooling is that our kids learn even when they are having fun! They just don't know that they are learning, because it's fun!

What are you waiting for? Shake things up and freshen up that homeschool of yours!

Homeschool High School Freedom

Stop on over for some great ideas from Jamie's blog at http://simplehomeschool.net. A wonderfully written article by contributor Cheryl of the 2:1 conference and CherylPitt.com about letting your teens have more freedom. Click here to read the entire article High School Freedom. It was a real eye opener and has helped me to see where I am doing well and what I need to work on.

What are some ways that you have let go of your teens? What are some ways you have pulled back on your teens?

I would love to hear from you.

READY OR NOT, HERE IT COMES!

THE TEEN YEARS ARE ALMOST HERE!

~11 more days until my baby boy turns 13~

 

~I am not exactly sure how this has transpired, but alas it has.~

 

~He is starting Freshman year, lol,
he wants to call it 9th grade.
Think back to your growing up years,
you wanted to be a FRESHMAN!! Right?I mean you had waited all those years
to get to high school and now
you had that COOL title.~

 ~Got to love our homeschooled kids, they don't
need a title, they don't care to keep up with the
Jones' (no offense to my readers or my family
member with the last name of Jones).~

~So what is it in your homeschool?9th grade or Freshman?~

~I plan to post some articles talking about homeschooling teens and high schoolers
 in the coming days.~
 

 

Who is eagerly awaiting the teen years, slightly fearful, a bit unsure, excited, thrilled and a lot of other things...lol. Earnestly praying for my future daughter-in-law, where ever she may be, as well as praying for her parents. I pray that they are raising her in "the fear and admonition of the Lord".
