My 17 yr old son started College Trigonometry this week. I am so glad that he enjoys math so much. It has always been one of his favorite subjects which is great since as of now his plans are to go into an engineering field, so the more math that he has is all the better. When he finishes Trig he will have 3 more college credits, 12 that will be math credits.
Here is a great Trigonometry site for anyone interested. http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/
A little tid-bit of info to help in Trig. Remember SOH CAH TOA.
Sine sin =opposite/hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine cos=adjacent/hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent tan=opposite/adjacent (TOA)
Just remembering that will help so much :0)
I am enjoying the fact that he is able to complete subjects for college at home. It is saving time because he can finish a subject in less time and is also a huge money saver. Which is a big plus!

Happy New Year & Reflections on the past year
Happy New Year--2010
As the year has come to a close, I thought it would be nice to reflect on some of 2009 high-lights.
Some of the majors things that happened in the past year were:
My oldest graduating from home school high school.
My three youngest children, ages 10,12,14, making State Competition in Forestry in 4-H.
Two of my children making State Competition in Wildlife, the 12 & 14 yr. old. Traveling to Sinton, Tx.
My 12 year old daughter making Quad-State Competition in Forestry. Traveling to Beavers Bend State Park, OK. for competition.
My 17 yr. old acquiring 22 college credits while still in high school.
My oldest joining the service, she left on December 29th to travel out of state for basic training.
We have had a wonderful year and were blessed many times over. I look forward to what 2010 has in store for us. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!
