I will be spending the day writing plans for J-Term 2011.
J-Term Classes are as Follows: AM= Forensics [all 3] PM= [K] alternates Acting & Lightwave, [C] lightwave or Computer Programming, [G] Computer Programming. (C is deciding between C.P. or alternating C.P with L.W.)
Brian will be helping a lot with the Computer Programming.I get to plan the boring part of Computer Programming & Lightwave. History/Vocabulary/Research-Writing.
For those readers of mine who are not familiar with J-Term, I will give a brief explanation.
During January the boys do not do their regular schooling. Instead I make a list of classes I think they would be interested in doing/learning about. They choose 2 or 3. There is 1 class in the morning, then the second class after lunch. Ki, my youngest gets 2 afternoon classes. At first he did 1.5 hours of each, now he alternates. I'm not a good enough lesson planner to make Cooking or Sewing be a 3 hours a day class.
Some of the classes they have chosen in the past:
Sewing
Mythology
Culinary Arts
Church History
Physics

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea!! The kids always want extracurricular classes like these, but by the time we're done with the regular work, we never seem to have the time. What a great way to get those classes in! A nice break from math and grammar mid-year is a plus too. If we weren't on a tight schedule to finish "real" school before our move, I think that I would do this! I will keep it in the back of my mind when I'm planning next year.
