    Well, I did it! I just ordered the Latin book for my youngest son!I talked about it a bit in my changing curriculum for career article on the Home page!
    He has dreams of being a paleontologist and since Latin is scientific, he chose to learn that!
    Luckily, I found what I hope is a great book on Amazon! Has 5 stars and great reviews from other homeschoolers, so we will see!
    I took French in High School, wanted to do German but it was not offered at my school! I loved it and hated it at the same time!LOL
    We started Spanish in our homeschool using the My Coach game for the Nintendo DS and it was going well until someone lost their game cartridge.....hmmm, deliberate?! We will never know, though Mom has a good idea!
    I have bought another and we are starting Spanish AGAIN in the Fall as I believe it a good one to know.
    This leads to this week's poll!
    Are you teaching a foreign language in your homeschool? If so, which one(s)?
    Do you like it? Best curriculum you have found for that language? Worst? And why?!?!
    Let us know in the comment section below!
    Once we get into this Latin book, I will definitely give updates on it! Like I said, it was highly recommended all over internet. Had 5 solid stars out of 5! 107 reviews, 100 were 5 stars.....so I am hoping!

    Well, as we are winding up the first year of 2 high schoolers being homeschooled(it feels SO crazy to say that....they were just in 5th and 6th grade-honest!).....the topic has turned towards what they want to be when they graduate! I want to buff up our homeschool day with what they need but tailor it for each of them!

    I know for my older son, as he has said this since he was 7-8 years old that he wanted to be a video game designer! He is now 16+ and has held onto that, never waivered! He has been into video games since birth, I swear! And can do things on the computer that I do not understand! I remember when he was 2 and would rearrange the files on my Mom's IMac. Then giggle when Grandma couldn't find anything and go click, click, click and they were all back! Nobody showed him, he just knew! CRAZY! As an adult who has used computers since 1988....I still cannot find stuff I download! He did not get that gene from ME!LOL

    My younger son is leaning towards being a paleontologist. No surprise there as he has always been into rocks, fossils, dinosaurs! I cannot remember a birthday or Christmas, that he didn't get a dinosaur something....book, fossil, excavation kit, etc. I guess that is a better choice than Monster Truck driver which WAS his choice at 5-6 when he was obsessed with Gravedigger!! Though that WOULD have been cool, IMHO!LOL

    So, what to do.....what to do!


    We have enjoyed almost 2 weeks off for Spring break but now that I am at the end of the week....I need to finish procrastinating and get the last part of the school year schedule together! I already had a few ideas of things I wanted to change or add BUT now that we are going to start focusing on adding some things to help our career choices.....I need to do my research! ...

    Well, hello there :)

    Hi! Hope you don't mind my posting, as my husband and I do not have children yet. We hope to start a family soon. I have longed to homeschool since I was in high school. Substitute teaching in public
