Jumping on the bandwagon...

So it seems to me that a lot of people have blogs these days, especially in the lovely community of homeschoolers that reside on these here internets. As I need an extra little bit of accountability in my life, I thought it might be a fine idea to start one myself. I have another blog on my myspace page, but that's mostly random stuff found on the internet and general rambling. I hope for this here blog to have more purpose. I have been struggling with naming our homeschool for a few weeks now, ever since I started using Homeschool Tracker, and maybe even considered it slightly pretentious to do so. I see the point now, giving yourself something to call your child's school by for lots of official purposes, and also giving you some direction in your homeschooling. I am calling us FreeWill Academy right now, because I am trying to educate my son in a way that leads to him making the right decisions later in his life but still exercising his free will. I'm not entirely happy with it though, so any suggestions are welcome. We school year round, so we are in our summer term, which is finishing up any books we did not finish during the "normal" school year. They are listed to the right. I will be listing our books for next year in the next few days. We are behind a day now, due to a death in his father's family, but I am not worried. Homeschool Tracker lets me reschedule stuff, and while I am not trying to abuse the function, it will help in this case. When I sit down Monday to plan next week, I can just move the things we missed forward. It is a beautiful thing. Anyway, I should probably go teach now. More tomorrow.
