This school year I have joined a local homeschool co-op. Last year, I felt like I squeaked by quite nicely as a Kindergarten homeschool teacher. I bought this kit that told me what to do and say for the entire school year. It was pricey, but since it was my first “official year” homeschooling it was perfect. But truthfully, I don’t know that much about homeschooling. I know when my daughter turns 8 I have to register with the school district. I have no idea if she has to take tests each year. But this week, I have been learning more and I have spoken with our local education director for our tribe and have a few names and numbers to get more information. Yay, for being more proactive!
So back to the local homeschool co-op I’ve joined. I am pretty excited and overwhelmed at the same time. Changes are hard, aren’t they? New things are kind of scary. There are about 100 other familes in this co-op and we have Friday school with them. We also have park day and field trips together. I am now a part of their Google group and I get a lot of emails. I am feeling a bit confused and sort of uncertain but I haven’t called to talk to the leader quite yet. I figured I’d get all the details when we head there for registration next week.

This is awesome – I love seeing companies give back to schools!
What a fabulous giveaway! I’m such a firm believer in giving back and I love to see organizations like these who support my efforts and those of the community.
That is a great giveaway. I am glad to see companies giving back.
Cool app. I’ll need to remember this and recommend it to our school board!
We home school and are active in the PTA. I had not heard of Monday Envelope before this post. What a fantastic way to stay organized and in touch with your group. Genius!
This is great. A mom-friend of mine is actually starting a homeschool co-op so I’m going to pass this along to her!
It’s so important to give back. I am pretty heavily involved in our children’s PTA at their school. I try to be involved in as much as I can. I want them to know mom supports them and school is important.
This is so great! 🙂
