Today we started our first day of home school for the 2007-2008 school year.  My son D is in first grade and is a reading maniac.  His twin sisters, A above and J below are doing pre-K coursework.  My hubby is a special education teacher and does not go back until the 3rd of September.  He is helping me with the girls over the next couple weeks so that I can get a good idea where D is at and get organized.  So far it went pretty well.  I am not as organized as I want to be but that is a work in process!

Welcome to our homeschooling blog where I hope to record our journey as a homeschooling family.  My husband is a special education teacher in the public school system and I worked for ten years as a pediatric medical assistant.  We are late in life parents with three children, our son D, who is almost 6 and our identical twin daughters J and A who are 4 3/12 years old.  D will begin first grade August thirteenth and is a delight to teach.  His sisters are a little more challenging and it will take some time to figure out how best to teach them.  We have many ideas in our heads about how we would like to homeschool, but being new to this, we don't know which ones will actually work.  In essence, this first year is probably "experimental"! LOL

We live in northern California and we are filing a private school affidavit.  The name we have chosen for our school is Pathfinder Academy.  I will be explaining and discussing that more in further posts.
