Well, we are about to venture into high school. I’m trying to map out our course schedule for the fall but this requires me to really map out some sort of schedule for the next four years. In order to gain the credits we’d like our daughter to have, I have to plan what she will take each year. One thing that I hadn’t thought of was physical education. At some point in high school, our daughter will need one credit. One credit is 150 hours of physical education. Today I’ve been racking my brain to try and figure out what we’ll do for that. I know one family whose son got into juggling and that was his PE. He became quite good at juggling and even performed locally. That’s another cool thing about homeschooling. We can choose some form of PE that breaks out of the traditional box. When I was in high school, we were required to take “gym” for three years. We did things like played kickball, basketball, and running. I liked it because I was an athlete but many girls hated it. They didn’t like to play kickball, basketball, dodge ball, or to run. Our daughter is the same way. She doesn’t care for many of those games. So, we are on a mission to learn a unique skill for PE. I think it would be fun to learn how to walk on stilts. I even found these cool stilts we could order! They are relatively inexpensive and we’d have a blast learning.

If stilt walking bombs, we could try something a little more difficult. Both sides of our family are Scottish so maybe we could learn to toss a caber, although I’m thinking we’d have to grow (A LOT) in order to do that. LOL! How about your family? What have you done to fill your PE credit? I would love to find something really unique to do. After all, we are supposed to devote 150 hours to this :-o)
