Our K12 Virtual School

I’m excited to be here, with Today.com sharing our 3rd year homeschooling, and 1st semester with K12. Whether you’re homeschooling, considering homeschooling, curious about why people homeschool, or want to argue about whether or not virtual schoolers like those using K12 are even really homeschoolers at all… welcome! In time, as I build up this blog, you’ll find all those issues (and many more) shared and discussed here.

My kids are 2nd grade, and a mix of 1st and kindergarten, giving us a nice variety of assignments to wade through. We have a couple different personality types to contend with too, adding to the drama of teaching and learning from home. One of my kids (my 5 year old daughter)  is eager to learn any subject in small spurts, mixed with a reasonable amount of playtime… while my son (7) loves to learn, but would rather choose the topic and direction of each lesson, than have mom or a pre-planned curriculum provide any kind of agenda.  With that said, we sometimes have our battles and this year’s been no different.

We’ve been K12-ing it now for 3 weeks, having started early as to easily accommodate a trip to Florida in November. Our K12 experience is through a public school in the state of Kansas, as it’s soooo much cheaper going that route than purchasing the program directly through k12.

So, there’s my intro! I’m anxious to share more… hoping you’re just as anxious to follow along! Keep on reading (and contributing comments) and I’ll keep on posting!
