Where?

So. Homeschooling.

Yup. We're in it to win it. Or cry trying.

The where's of it. Obviously the majority of our learning takes place at home. I do have grand visions of weekly trips to the library and our local museums. We were supposed to go to the library on Monday. Haven't gotten there yet. But it's still on the list!!!

As for curriculum, we're enrolled with a local charter school. It's part of a branch of the Classical Academy. They have a pretty cool setup. Basically everything is handed to you. Day by day curriculum listed out. Plain. Simple. Should be easy enough right?

The kids will also be going to a 'Learning Center' once a week. There, they'll each take two kind of fun classes and then their whole history curriculum will be taken there. So, that's one thing off my plate. At least I know for sure, at the end of the year. They will definitely have learned some history. Baby steps.

So, since this is a charter school, we still answer to the state. That means regular state testing. State standards. Etc. I'm sure there's good and bad to that. But for our first year, it'll have to do.
