Week 1 - Officially Started

Cody's classes all arrived on Tuesday, late afternoon. We decided to get started Wednesday. I already like and dislike his Switched on Schoolhouse classes. The setup is great, he did really well today with the computer format. The down side, I was not ready for a Science experiment yet. Really, the first week of classes? So today I had to order art and Science supplies. I am looking forward to the experiments, and all the cool supplies.

On another note, we have our first field trip planned for the Science Center in Baltimore on September 21st. Trying to plan a visit to the Benjamin Franklin Institute for October get to see the Cleopatra exhibit and the Center. Should fit well with his current scheduled assignments too.

It is only the first week of school and I am already trying to plan next year. I think next year we will use:

• Exploring Creations General Science
• Around the world in 180 days
• Saxons math (not sure which level he'll be on then)
• Switched on Schoolhouse English
• and the required electives...

So far so good.
