This week has been busy even though I didn't have much planned for it. I've been trying to work on a few projects including:
*Transcripts - Working on pulling together all of the grades and courses from the past 3 years. I will say that I plan to do a better job of record-keeping in the coming year than I have done in the past. I am not frustrated with my efforts thus far though because I have been keeping great records of other things over the last 3 years - several notebooks full of records from Eliana's first year and Joshua's past year.
*FIAR group - Still trying to get all the groups going and running. I'm thankful to have friends coming alongside me to do this!
*Planning for the year. This is such a huge task (or it seems that way). I'm trying to be thorough now so that I can use my time more effectively during the year. I'm planning for two high school students this year and needing/wanting to keep good records. To aid in this, I'm designing a grading grid for each class, a syllabus for the year (dates things are due, expectations, etc) and a planner for each child.
I want to design the equivalent of 3 IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for my children with special needs. I want to ensure that I'm doing what I can each day to maximize their learning. I want to set realistic goals and work towards achieving them.
So, with all that needing to be done, I haven't had much time for blogging. I have done a few fun things. We attended a showing of Charlotte's Web with some families from the play. I visited an office supply store with some friends (yes, that counts as fun!).
More later on what we'll be doing for the coming year. :-) Hope you are having a fun and productive week!
Blessings,
Leslie

You are getting some great planning done. When you are done with one of your IEP's can you share how you put it together? My nine year old could use one. We have been out of the school system so long, I do not remember what to put in them.

Just wanted to say Hi and hope planning is going well. We started school this week. I couldn't remember, are you guys near Greenville. I plan on being at a home school convention in Greenville this coming March. It is the one in The Old Homeschool Magazine this month. Thought it might be a great opportunity to just say Hello if you were planning on attending.
