So … yesterday, I took a veteran homeschooler’s advice and asked my three older children what they would like to study as electives as they move into Middle School, and eventually High School. Here is the list they compiled, in no particular order.
- Home Ec
- Cooking Science
- Sewing
- Design
- Art History
- Large Animal Vet Science
- Greek (failing that …. Italian)
- French x 2
- Computer Science
- Acoustic Guitar x 2
- Flute
- Piano
- Typing
- Home Design
- Journalism
- Sculpture
- Woodworking
- Landscaping/Horticulture
- French Cooking
To make matters more interesting, the children assure me that they have forgotten some things but that it would be “okay” for me to begin here. What was I thinking?
Wow, they’re planning to keep you busy! It does look like several of them can be folded in together, though. Wouldn’t Sewing and Cooking fall under the Home Ec category? And French cooking could definitely be a unit within Cooking. By the time the kids are in high school, Journalism will be a History unit. (Ha! But sadly, I think it might be true.)
