Wrapping up...

Well, we have wrapped up another year in our homeschool academy. So in a lot of ways our school year is finishing up. I can't believe how fast this year has flown! All my children still have math to work on and a whole stack of books to read through this summer, but for the most part we are finished with our core courses. My oldest will be in the 11th grade next year and we are enrolling her in our local community college for a couple of classes.

That is hard to believe that I will have one in college and one in diapers by this fall:).

Speaking of homeschooling, I came across a fantastic giveaway from Trivium Pursuit I wanted to pass on. It is a giveaway involving Rosetta Stone. We use RS for our Spanish and our children love it. Even my 10 year old is working through the program.

Here is what was posted on the blog:
Do you know a high school Junior or Senior who would like to knock out 3 college Spanish Credits without setting foot in a classroom (except maybe the one in their home)? Rosetta Stone has partnered with James Madison University, a fully accredited four year institution, to offer college level Spanish 1! Enrollment is now open, and learners can start in as little as 8 days from today! Online courses begin every Monday, and the complete intensive program takes 16-weeks to complete.


In addition to Rosetta Stone online coursework, the program includes live online sessions with a tutor who’s a native Spanish speaker. This beginner-level course also gives students access to their own Success Agents dedicated to helping students succeed in Spanish.


This is a strictly limited offering open to the first 500 students to enroll. In other words, courses begin on Mondays only as long as there are still openings, and once there are 500 students enrolled, no more classes will begin. To be eligible, students must be at least high school junior level academically, OR at least 18 years of age.
To learn more or enroll today, visit www.RosettaStone.com/coursecredit.

I hope you all will hop over to the Trivium Pursuit blog (http://www.triviumpursuit.com/blog/2011/04/19/college-credit-for-rosetta-stone-spanish)  and enter this fantastic giveaway.

Have a great Wednesday!
