In July.
My daughters Drama Club is doing White Christmas. The show will run the first week of December.
Auditions are soon. I'll be picking up a copy of White Christmas the movie and the Broadway recording so she can prepare for auditions.
I think the role of Martha would be perfect for her... spunky and with a big voice.
I'll be crossing my fingers for her.

It's almost time for school! Homeschool that is.
The new school year starts in a couple of weeks.
For my kids, their online classes (just a couple) start and their choir practice and drama club rehearsals also start the second week of august. I will start their other studies once they get into the swing of things.
I already have the kids doing a little work to get them ramped up. They are both doing test prep stuff and my daughter is halfway through her geometry curriculum.
I am looking forward to this 2011-2012 school year with excitement.
Are you ready?

Crazy about online curriculum
I just updated my curriculum page, and listed my favorite curriculum from over the years (scroll to end of page). To my surprise, most of them ended with .com or .org. I have a thing for online curriculum.
The downside to that is that we end up buying new computers... often. My daughter seems to be able to trash a laptop in 18 months. My son's last longer, but his choices are more expensive.
Fortunately, I fill in the blanks with free home education resources such as those found on my FREE HOME EDUCATION WEBSITE

Choosing GA Virtual School over Ga Cyber Academy
It may seem odd that I have chosen to use a public school program to help homeschool my kids. I have always been against public school at home, so I guess I should make a statement about this.
First,. because we could not get dual enrollment for my son's senior year, I wanted something to show to colleges that he was at the same level as high school kids.
Second, while Georgia Virtual School is sponsored by the state, it keeps the parent in control of what the child will take and even gives flexibility in scheduling.
Third, it is not Georgia Cyber Academy, in which the school makes all educational choices for the child. I strongly dislike Georgia Cyber Academy because kids who are struggling in school, would almost never be successful in it.
Anyway, we chose to take a couple of online classes this year through Georgia Virtual School. My son is taking Physics, Spanish, and a math class. As I am not equipped to teach the spanish or physics, I had to find something, and this is free... more money for college. My daughter is taking Mandarin Chinese... there is no way I can help her with that.... for this reason, I am finding individual classes at Georgia Virtual School quite useful for my needs.

Update: Didn't have an awesome experience with Georgia Virtual School. I only recommend if your kids can follow a typical school schedule... which sucks all of the fun out of homeschooling.
