I began work on moving in the lesson plans. I am not done with these pages just yet. I began moving over the pages starting at the bottom of the list. I don't know why I started at the bottom, but that's just how it is! ;) Today is an upside down kind of day. I am heading out for piano class with DD14 so I have to put the rest of the move on hold. I plan on getting the rest moved over before Monday!
You will see two new pages under the lesson plan tabs. At least they are new since HSB. The first one is Classical Music. With this change over, I think I have found a way to embed some PowerPoint Presentations my father-in-law created for us when we first started Homeschooling. I have updated them a bit and I would love to be able to share them. I am hoping this will be easy enough to do!
The other new one is a lesson plan IDEA I just thought up this morning. I think it will be a fabulous idea. Here's the blurb I wrote up for the Lesson Plans main page:
My oldest will soon be ready to start her own job and she needs to learn some real life budgeting. Such as how to deal with rent, utilities, debt, a checking account etc. I want to teach her this prior to her actually having an income besides the occasional babysitting money. So my plan is to set up a weekly lesson plan that will simulate each "MONTH." Each month they will have an income, bills, etc. They will also have some weeks with financial emergencies, big purchases and bonus income (to represent taxes, work bonus etc.). I think this would be a really fun subject. They will have to make real life choices and sometimes say no to their wants in order to make the budget.
DD14 is trying to convince me this needs to be the next co-op lesson I do for her age group. I think it would be a great fun co-op class. So it's a possibility. Either way I will get this figured out soon. :)
I'm off to piano class, have a great day everyone!
