• Friday, August 11, 2006 - Let's Play with the Homeschool Books! :-)

Okay Deanna, just for you I'll share in my book find....LOL!! First off, we use Christian Light Education (CLE) curriculum because I still don't feel wise (brave?) enough to strike out on my own....I know, shameful, huh?

Kathy will be starting her Senior year & will be taking:

  • Bible
  • Lang. Arts
  • Keeping Financial Records
  • English Literature (2nd Semester)
  • PE

She only needs 3.5 credits to graduate....YEA!! The Bible is just the LightUnits (workbooks) but the Literature is a hard backed book & I'll save it for Shaun's 12th. grade year. The really fun experience is the Keeping Financial Records course....She has 2 big books, I have 2 big books, & that's not counting the self checks & tests! It took me over an hour last night just figuring out where everything was & how it fit together!  She works full-time so we count that as her PE. The English Literature we'll order at Christmas time as it's only a 1/2 credit & can be done in one semester.

Okay, now for Shaun who's a Freshman & will be pulling a full load this year. He'll be taking:

  • Bible
  • Practical Math
  • Literature (English - 2nd. Semester)
  • Science (Can I say YUCK?)
  • Social Studies
  • Computer Basics (Basic Car Care - 2nd. Semester)
  • PE

His books are pretty much all LightUnits except for the Literature & the Practical Math. (I don't know about the Basic Car Care yet.) We have the English & Computer Basics from when Kathy took them in the 9th. grade. We still have to order the Basic Car Care. (at Christmas time....) He'll be doing alot of different things for PE (from working out on a weight machine to skateboarding to bike riding to calesthenics (sp?) on bad weather days.) I'm going to try to add some things to make it a little more interesting but for the most part, we'll just be going by the books. I've changed the order to fit our schedule & deleted a few small minor things but in a nutshell, there it is! Hope I did not bore you all to death. Now it's someone else's turn....PLEASE share? Blessings, Patty

Hi,
I am homeschooled and have been using CLE for two years(we love using CLE) ,I am in 9th grade this year. We had trouble keeping up with our school work, do you all have any trouble keeping up? Do you have any advice that might help me with staying caught up on my school work and how many hours a day do you all work on the lightunits?
Thank you,
Belle homesteadgirls
