Homeschool

We are going to homeschool Jake and Ryan next year. gulp.

Luke and Laine will be in preschool 5 days a week, 9-12:30 though.

Luckily there is a pretty big homeschooling community around us, but still this will be an adventure. They both have strong math and reading skills already so I feel they have a solid base to move forward.

This is something I have wanted to do, the timing just was never right before. Since we downsized and moved closer into the city I just can't schlep them up to their old school anymore. Last year we did it because we had committed to the school (that we loved) for the year before we made the move, but it was never our long term plan. There is a good private school very close to us that might be an option in the future, but this year HS is the plan.

I am really interested in a classical curriculum, but we haven't firmly decided upon anything yet.

Will you post more about this as you go forward? There are a couple of us in Georgia who have discussed home schooling. We'd love to hear what you come up with!

There are many online sources available to determine what is best for you. We are currently using the Summer Bridge activity books for the boys this summer and they are doing very well with them!
