Feb. 10

Today was an Impact Homeschool Academy Day for Connor. He attends this co-op school on Tuesdays, with a few dozen other home-schooled children. Connor was excited to bring the Earthquake cake we made last night (to represent California--see yesterday's post) and to perform the song he wrote on the guitar. At Impact Academy Connor takes Writing, Drama, Chemistry, and Social Studies. He could take Spanish there too, but since he is already studying Latin online and taking Chinese lessons we decided to skip the Spanish class. Luckily, it's the first class of the day, so I just drive him there an hour later. That is the beauty of home-schooling. Connor gets to learn what he and I find interesting, as long as it's within the parameters of the NYS guidelines. After Impact Academy, we went to our Chinese class at the Gil Coterie Language School. Of course, Connor has more time during the day to study, so he is wayyy ahead of the rest of the family with his mastery of Chinese. It's all good though. Connor and I are both learning more and more each day!
