Homeschooling!

We love Homeschooling. My boys are actually registered in school at Gumpoint Christian School. We are connected to the school through internet! We have used Switch on Schoolhouse curriculum and Life Pacs through Gumpoint. My boys recieve report cards from GP and AWARD certificates at the end of the year. We are using other books for supplement material and finding alot of great stuff on the internet. The main thing is to write down your objectives and a course line plan to follow and keep it organized someway that works best for you. Seperate binders and folders work best for me, with a type of syllabus in front to follow. I like to write up daily assignment plans for each of my boys and attached it as a cover sheet to their work and they have a plan to follow and check off as it is completed. They love this, then they know exactly what they must do and time management is being learned and adapted here with out any stress on them or me! Well do you have any suggestions? Are Questions? Please email me or comment me? We supplement for our elective subjects with different curriculums. For socializing, we are very active at Church in different ministries. My sons play instruments with their peers, go iceskating with a group of homeschoolers from our church at a local Ice Skating Rink that hosts a designated time for Homeschoolers to count as PE time, and I make sure that they associate with other friends, there are several homeschooled students their age around here. I love spending time with my sons and being a part of their education process.
