"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Back 2 School


Well, in our family, it's that time of year again....you know, BACK TO SCHOOL!!!
HELP!!!;) Really,its kinda nice. (WHAT? ME LIKE SCHOOL?!?!)

Seriously, though, I'm glad. It's been a good, but BUSY summer. With moving, swimming lessons, company, vacation, and MORE company!!

Mom's sister and her family just left today. I played a lot with her kids Jared and Emily. We played Spy, Hide and Seek, and played TONS with Lego's. It was fun. They are coming back in a couple of weeks.

I'm homschooled at Quail Ridge Academy, our own home school with 2 pupils-my sister and I. Alison, my sister is entering Pre-K. I'm now in 8th grade.
Here are my subjects for this year:

MATH-I'm doing Math-U-See's "Pre-Algebra" book. (www.mathusee.com) At least for right now, it pretty fun. I'm studying exponents and the like.

SCIENCE-I'm doing Dr. Jay L. Wile's "Exploring Creation With Biology" textbook. It's very challenging, but very good. Dr. Wile's website is: www.highschoolscience.com

ENGLISH/SPELLING-I'm doing some review in Houghton Mifflin English.
I'm also starting "Apples", which is daily spelling drills.
I'm continuing Wordly Wise 3000 Book 2, A reason for Handwriting, and Spelling Power.

The last big class is TENNESSEE NATURAL HISTORY-is a self-made class which I'm collecting pictures of different native Tennessee animals and plants. I'm also going to be drawing some plants and animals. I'll learn about Tennessee History, and at the end of the 2007-08 school year, I will give a speech on what I've learned about Tennessee Natural History.

Guess that's all for now-this is gonna be a great year!!
