Okay, so here it goes and I have broken down and started a blog..... mostly to doccument and chronicle our virtual/home schooling experience.
As some may already know Rhiannon and I joined in Epic Charter Schools law suit against the state of Oklahoma. This has been both good and bad in that we did win a victory for students in our state but bad in that we may be not able to start with Epic until next year and left to home school for the year on our own. Thankfully we were prepared for a fight and the possibility of all of this.
Gareth started Kindergarden in LPS today. Alot of people think its odd I chose to enroll him in a traditional brick and mortar school when I have been fighting so hard for virtual schools. I dont see it as anything but the statement I have made from the start of all of this, education should be determined by the child not by lumping all of them together. What has worked for Rhiannon likely wont work for Gareth and why wouldnt I do what in the best interest of each of my kids.
This coming week Rhiannon and I will begin a Lit. unit on Shakespeare. We are reading The Taming of the Shrew as a starter. I figured it was an easier place to start with the comedies. The history surrounding the globe and a spelling list to go with it are in the works as well. With Gareth having school I am hoping we can move more smoothly through the more advanced subjects this year, including pre-algebra.
