Entrance Applications and Interviews

Update on how the entrance applications and interviews are going. First, the kids have loved this. They are really excited about having a name for our homeschool and being involved in creating a learning plan for themselves. They filled out their applications and it was fun to see what courses they would like our school to offer this year: history of China, science, art, and music. Hmmm, no one said math, that's weird. We also practiced for their interviews. In pairs they took turns talking about themselves for one minute, making eye contact and not fidgeting. If they weren't the speaker they had to "actively listen" to the other person. Funny that a few of them thought that their mom's and dad's ages were somehow relevant information to give during their one minute talking about themselves. We haven't done the official interviews yet, but they are getting ready and having fun preparing. Can't wait!
