Posted in School Year Planning Ideas

Today is our Park day. We get together with a few other homeschool families from our town and the kids play wiffle ball, kick ball, and other games. There is a little park there for the younger kids to play on, but we try to keep everyone together at the ball field. Today is really windy so I know the kids won't be able to play wiffle ball. We tried it one day in the wind and it was funny watching the ball come back at you afteryou hit it.

I signed both my kids up for our homeschool groups Co-op for this coming school year. I am kind of nervous. I have never taught other kids before, unless you count the 2 days a week preschool we had in my high school. I took 2 long classes a day and worked with the kids one of the two days. I have no ideas as to what to teach. I do have 2 meetings this week for brain storming ideas for the coming school year. I would love to help out another mom instead of teaching, but maybe I can sign up for a class to teach towards the end of the year, that way I can get ideas and see how things are done. Anyone have any ideas or sugestions to help me out?

I only teach my son and it is more of an un school way. The only thing we do structured is math and learning to read. Other than that if he is interested in something we pursue it and if he isn't we don't do it. Chantelle does her schooling on her own. She does come to me for help but for the most part she is an independent learner. Next year both the kids are doing the same thing for history so we will all be doing it. Chantelle's science next year is also much harder so I will be helping her with that as well. I love science anyway so that is good.
