Our Homeschool Community

I lead a homeschool group.  This year makes our fifth year.  We've seen a good number of families come and go--changing the dynamics of our group.  I'm happy to say that as we've grown through the years, we've finally found a rhythm and pace that works for us.  We now have a core of families who are not only committed to homeschooling, but to making our group a tight knit family.

The families who make up this group come from many walks and bring such diversity to my life!  I've learned a lot from each of the women (and men) who have participated over the years and am so thankful to those who have also found support and encouragement and remained a part of the group.

Today we held our Fall Meet & Greet--it's our kick off for another year together.  We have several new families who joined us this year and are looking forward to many more days of play, of great conversations, of learning, of growing and bonding.

I haven't yet gone over our sign-in sheet to do a final count of just how many families came out--but I'm sure there were at least fifty people.  We had an awesome number of children of all ages.  Here are a few shots from our time together:

Storytime at the Library

we had another homeschool support group meeting today. i'm happy to share that at each meeting there are more new faces excited about the possibilities of homeschooling many of which have joined the support group and are becoming active members! this is what my goal was and it's wonderful to see it coming into view.

before each of our meetings our children participate in the library's storytime. the children's librarian, cassi gwyn, is awesome and so graciously prepares activities especially for our group. this particular day the children got to make flowers using their own hand cut out--this is one of my favorite crafts!!

i look forward to continuing to grow the group and support each parent in their choice to homeschool.

Yahoo! Group Setup

I've finally got my Yahoo! group setup to share with those who will attend the homeschool meetup on the 21st and are interested in joing the support group. I've been using regular email, but I'm sure there are more people out there who'd like to have information on homeschooling.

I've taken all the information that I've compiled and uploaded it to this site. This way everyone can have access to it (members that is) and we can do our part to save the trees! :)
