It’s been a while since I’ve given any kind of update as to what is going on with our homeschooling, so here we go.
About one week before the official start of the school year, I got an e-mail from an online school that I looked at months ago, saying they have opened up to K-12, instead of just 4-8, in Nevada. I thought I would go check into it, and see what they had to offer. We have since enrolled with them. Here’s the deal. I am the one teaching. I am the one who can control the learning and the environment. My kids are able to learn at their pace and go as fast or slow as they need. They offer the whole curriculum. A small part is online, but most everything else is done offline. They sent me, and are still sending, tons of materials, including a computer and printer. I really like the curriculum and the way it is set up, and I’m able to accomplish what I wanted to when we first set out on this journey. I think it is much the same as it would be had I bought a boxed curriculum, except with this, I have more resources. I’m still homeschooling my kiddos and enjoying all the wonderful things that go with homeschooling! It’s been a bit crazy this last week, just trying to get a schedule down. But, I’m confident that once we do, things will run really well.
