Last Day of School Part III

June 29th, 2009 by Janet

My, oh my…busy, busy, busy!  We’ve been moving ahead with all of the logistical details needed to be taken care of in order to start homeschooling this fall.  Elijah and Zeke have been doing assessment tests all week and, after attending a showcase for the Minnesota Virtual Academy on Thursday, we finalized our decision to enroll them into that program for this fall.  We sent in all of the necessary paperwork to the MNVA on Friday.  Hooray!

I feel very blessed to be in one of the fifty states that have a free online school like the MNVA. (There are about 20)  It’s a pretty cool program.  Not perfect - I plan on troubleshooting my way through it - but it’s free.  Like, everything is free.  Teacher support if you need it, lots of hands on material, text books…they even ship you a free computer, printer and scanner.  The lesson planning is even all done for you, and the daily online assessments will keep us on track and accountable so that we don’t fall behind.  I’m excited.

We’re having a great summer vacation too!  I love having all my kids together, I really do.  I need to start taking pictures for you all.  …Oh dear, so much to do, so little time.

Anyway…this is hardly much of a post, but I wanted to let you all know that we are all alive and well.

Later…
