The girls have been working hard on their homeschool lessons (15 minute increments 3 times a day). Morgan is learning same/different this week. Jaden is focusing on math. For now, I have decided that we will do year-long school. That way, we can take several breaks during the year when other kids are stuck in school (less crowds).
I am excited for the homeschool convention coming up in August. They have seminars and exhibits of curriculum.
We are officially part of a homeschool co-op, but the co-op is still getting started from scratch. There are a lot of families in the area, so it is just a matter of time before everything is set. A lot of planning is underway. The good thing is that we can make it be whatever we want it to be. That is very exciting news.
The co-op will provide mini-classes (one day a week), speakers for the adults, companionship, book-exchanges, field trips, etc.
Here are some links of information of people that will be speaking to us about their curriculum:
