Today is school

Yes today school starts back up and Kris is going to have to get back in that groove.
Sherri and I are roadschooling Kris as we travel around. So far he is carrying an "A" average in Math Science Language Arts and Geography/History. We are using the Lifepac home studies course. The students have 4 to 5 self test in each unit of study. Each course has 10 units which are planed out over the school year. At the end of each unit the student has to pass a Lifepac test that covers the entire unit of study. 
I am so amazed at what Kris is learning with this type of curriculum. Even Sherri and I are learning things we did not learn in all our years of education. One of the greatest things this type of study brings to Kris is the fact that we can actually go to and interact with what he is learning. In math when Kris goes to the store to shop with us he is in charge of figuring out the best buy on items. Science he goes out into the woods and studies nature. In Geography/History Kris is right there where it all happened. Now Language Arts is the one thing that he does not have many field trips for. He is doing well with poetry and is now writing many poems on his on.
When Kris was going to school we both were very active in his homework assignments and making sure that Kris was keeping up with the curriculum. I find that with this Lifepac study he has more one on one and learns much faster. There is less time wasted in class and more time doing the work. Kris starts school at 8:00 am and is completed by 1:30 pm. We are there to answer questions and keep him on track. So over all we probably spend as much time helping him as we did when he was in public school and had homework at night. 
The rain has let up and it looks like we are going to have a nice day today. I have many projects to get done outside and Sherri will be busy with her projects inside. As soon as it drys up enough we are out of here for a while. We have several items on Craig's List that we have to stick around to sell. So I am sure we will have to stay until that happens...
