in my brainstorming with a friend yesterday, i was having serious problems figuring out what i need to do to get my home schooling started. lesson plans, what's required by the state, how i'm going to run this "school," you name it. the only thing i had figured out was that i could get basic supplies from the dollar store.
when she had left, and things settled down around the house a little bit, i went searching online. turns out, there are no requirements and no guidelines for homeschooling parents in idaho! that means that i am completely in charge of what i teach my kids. i can teach them anything i so desire. now to figure out a curriculum that i like, and find everything i need to be able to teach it.
and, yes, just so i have finally stated it and not alluded to it: next year, i am home schooling my children.

We are pretty sure we are going to homeschool Katie next year (the boys have a good school and we are letting them decide). I've already got my curriculum ready to go so I can slowly purchase it throughout the next months. I can send you the links to some good websites I found that review curriculum if you would like ideas or helps. There is so much out there! We are so excited about it. Funny you are thinking about it too. I am glad that I'm not the only weird one in the world.
Yay! I'm so excited for you Nadia, that you get that flexibility of covering pretty much whatever you want/however you want it.
I'm sorry I wasn't much help for you brainstorming. It seems that our focuses in this kind of thing compliment each other really well; in my mind I was thinking about all of the cool hands-on stuff you could do and you were reminding me about traditional paper-pencil stuff. It was good... lol
