Things currently on Willow's mind, as evidenced by a long morning laying on the floor working in a lined steno pad:
Santa and His Reindeer, with Happy Moon and Star
Funny Person
Ice Cream Cone with Lots of Toppings
Our New Ceiling Fan (courtesy of Willow's Grandma Janie and Poppa, who taught Willow many new swears in the course of its installation)
I don't know how often I think about Santa or the ceiling fan, but I, too, spend a lot of time with funny people and ice cream on my mind.
There are some good start-up info on homeschooling on our group's website:

Basically, my understanding is that you aren't even required to register with the state about homeschooling. I did it anyway because that little piece of paper they send you to confirm your homeschooling status is what I use to get discounts at B&N.
Barnes and Noble discounts! Homeschooling is looking better and better!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the stuff, it looked to me like you have to register your kid, but not until the year she turns seven, which won't be for another whole year for us, anyway. And I'm totally mailing in my LEARN membership this week!
BTW, you don't have to join LEARN to use our lovely website. ;) But, LEARN does have a huge number of kids who are about the same ages as your kids (it's the teens that are hard to find because most people end up sending their kids to ps or Harmony when they hit the teen years...and I am SO tempted some days, I tell ya), so you'll find lots of chances for social interaction (and socialization is what non-homeschoolers harp about all the time, having no clue how hard it is to NOT get the kids to have enough chances to socialize...getting home time, now that's hard!).
ReplyDeleteIn fact, there's a Valentine party coming up...
