I have been with Texas Connections Academy now for the last 3years. It has been an interesting and joyful ride! I feel that my family has outgrown the curriculum and we are ready to move on. The best thing about Connections is if you are just starting this would be the route to go. You have everything laid out for you and it is not too overwhelming. My road to new adventures start this Fall in 2013.
I though it would be fun if I were to blog my experience of this transition to show other parents that you don't have to know what you are doing 100% of the time as long as you have a great support group; and that I do have. I am not perfect and I'm pretty sure I don't know it all but I learn through watching everyone else and find what I think would benefit my family.
What may work for my neighbor and her kids may not work for me and mine, so I am on a hunt for curriculum's and ready to Rock & Roll!!!
I am trying a couple of online curriculums for the summer for my daughters who are in 2nd and 6th grade.
Second Grade-AdaptedMind have awesome and fun things that my 7yr old can do on her own.Sixth Grade is also available for my 11 year old. She is always on the computer and found this to motivate her through the summer without getting bored. I didn't want them to get out of touch, so I am kind of sneaking summer learning in without them really thinking about it thorough AdaptedMind!
