WHY? Our Journey Into Homeschooling
Sunday, September 2, 2007
New Year, New Adventures
Well, it's a new non-school year *haha* I sent our notice of intent to homeschool for A.J. to the school superintendent again.
This year, we'll have to provide proof of progress in one of several forms, so that's the first thing that will be different.
The second thing is that I've decided to enroll in an area homeschool co-op that meets weekly. It is a bit of a trek (about an hour's drive), but I think it will be worth it to have some consistency in faces we see and also to get exposed to what other people are doing. This month's schedule includes a water-fun day, a gadget day, two field trips, and a possible picnic.
The best thing about this co-op is that it's pretty laid back. If A.J. doesn't feel like participating in the class or activity going on that week, he can sit at a table and play a game or just go outside to the playground.
A.J. does his best with adults or one-on-one with other kids, but I'm hoping that with this opportunity to be around other kids, he'll find someone he can connect with. I've tried to be more local but with little successs. We'll see how it goes.
