Our Homeschool Plans for the Year (2024-2025)

We’re at the start of another homeschool year! Sadie is kind of in an in-between year this year because in Pennsylvania, we don’t have to report anything to the state until she is six-years-old by September 1st. Her birthday falls at the end of September, so we have a year of being able to explore and learn and do what works for us before there are certain requirements for days, hours, or subjects to be covered.

Because we don’t have to report to the state this year, does that mean we’re not doing any learning? No way! We have a plan of subjects we’re going to cover and how often, curriculum we plan to use, and some learning goals. At the same time, I am holding the word “plan” loosely, because I know things can and will change as the year goes on. As of now, here’s what’s on the agenda for the school year!

A Robot Machine, New Bible Study, and Summer Festival

I mentioned in this post that Jimmy had some big work things coming up. He got a new machine! It’s a robot that cuts steel. He spent the past week in training to learn how to program and use it. The kids and I stopped by a few times (to do school!) and were able to see it in action. It’s pretty cool!
