It's a Different Kind of School Year


School's in session! This year, we've got two different schools...traditional for our 6th grader, and a combination of traditional/homeschool for our 1st grader. And of course, our 2 y.o. will be part of our homeschool classroom.

Question: How do you get the school's to let you do both their school and home school?

I feel so blessed because our area really has so many options in terms of schooling. The school that my 1st grader attends is a university model school--students and teachers meet in the traditional classrooms two days per week, and all of the students who attend her school are schooled at home on the other three days. The curriculum and plans are laid out by the traditional school teacher. I'm a little bit of a cheater in that since I used to be a classroom teacher, I'm adding a lot of what I know works to her home days. It's really been a blessing and has given us some one-on-one individualized time that we wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm sure I'll have some interesting times to post about!
