We just had our first official day of school. We are members of the Arizona Virtual Academy. We can homeschool online with the Core K12 curriculum and the kids are labeled as public school kids so we get all the supplies, including a computer, for free. Well, for our tax money! It is a lot of work and will take a little getting used to for all of us. Drue has to complete 5 hours a day (not a problem). Lukas has to complete 4 hours a day. If we include all his daydreaming, he is really close! Right now we are focusing on taking assessments until they get to where they are challenged. So far, we are not challenged. It makes it nice to start a new system off with easy work.
We took a picture with their favorite teacher, mom. With the principal, dad. And one at their desks. We are awaiting our computer from the academy and then they will each have a computer to do school on.

You guys look great - we really miss you! We are still enrolling to another online academy, hoping for help with curricula, structure, supplies, etc. You know how it goes. We created a blog...will get you the address when we post.
Wow! Arizona really has their act together when it comes to public education alternatives. Nothing like that here in NC. Sounds like school is going to be "fun"...if that is possible...especially during recess inside the pool!
