America the Beautiful – This is curriculum can be used for 1 or 2 years, this is our second year. Here’s my Notgrass America the Beautiful review.

Handwriting – He’s continuing in Logic of English The Rhythm of Handwriting. He doesn’t like cursive, so he is taking his time learning it. He would prefer to quit, but I won’t let him.

Abby is in the middle of 10th grade. She’s working ahead, she’s not behind. She wants to graduate early. Right now, she’s working on:

Music – She plays the piano a lot, and is always learning new songs. She plays the piano in church, and also sings and plays in a youth band. She is also using Homeschool Piano.

Art – She has recently expressed an interest in learning how to draw. We don’t have a formal art course, but have many learn how to draw books that she is using. I have also told her I want her to use the Art Techniques class on Schoolhouse Teachers.com.

As she finishes each subject, I’ll add in new ones. She’s getting all the required classes done early. She can’t decide what electives she wants to take yet, other than art and music.
