English from the Roots Up
Rockets, Radar, & Robots: Technology Based Writing Lessons

Elective
Shakespeare Conquest through our commonwealth school, Insight Liberal Arts Academy (tentatively- I'm not sure we'll be doing the commonwealth next year).

Extracurricular
Austin will also be involved in scouts, piano lessons, and he wants to learn Japanese (for his future career as a ninja :D).

*We decided to not do First Lego League this year. We're trying to simplify our outside commitments and this is one we decided to cut.

Sample of Austin's weekly checklist - I'll continue to edit & modify this throughout the school year:
