It's Official!

We have just finished registration for our "homeschooling" program, Connections Academy, and we have received our "thumbs up" from the school as well.

The kids are so excited, they are ready to get started "right now". Though we need the summertime to buy desks and chairs and supplies for our study areas.

My mother has her concerns but she seems to be totally on board with the idea. That's a relief. I guess we never get so old that we outgrow the desire to have our mommy's approval.

I've received invitations for seminars for the school and I'm really hoping to get off of work so that we can attend one.

One foot in the door...

To do list:

[ ] Wolfie needs two more vaccinations to be brought up to date. Get those done and turn in current shot record.

[ ] Mail withdrawal notices to schools on Monday, then send carbon copies to "new" school.

[ ] Obtain final report cards from school and then forward to "new" school.

[ ] Then, done! After that, wait until the new school year begins.

I am enrolling the kids in an online school programs which follows the guidelines of an public ISD. Consequently, this online school, Connections Academy, will provide the curriculum, handle most of the record keeping, provide academic supplies (books, computers, worksheets, etc).

It appears I'll have a fantastic support group as well. I have a friend whose kids are currently enrolled in the program and doing fabulously. And she knows several other families who are following suit. So we're already talking field trips together, and so one.

First things first, knock out my "To do list".
