~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I homeschool the little one. Right now, that's the best choice for her. Down the road, we may enroll her to a regular school but that still remains to be seen. Anyway, per the state's law, all homeschooled kids still have to undergo testing and/or evaluation at the end of the school year just like those that go to regular schools. Yesterday, we went to her annual evaluation and she passed it with flying colors. Yay! Her vocabulary is that of a seventh grade half-way through year. Aside from that, the evaluator said that she's way above her grade level in all aspects/subjects so we need to find more challenging materials for her in order to keep her from getting bored. As it is right now, we're using grades 3 - 6 books, as well as 4 - 8 books. Mommy [aka teacher] is currently busy checking out the different resources available online so we can order the needed materials - books, kits, etc. I am hoping I'll be able to find what I need ASAP so...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been 'homeschooling' our little one...unofficial since we have not really decided yet if we will go with private school or public school kind of home schooling. I'm still reading on these 2 but basically if we choose public school, we need to send a letter of intent to the district in our county letting them know of our decision to homeschool her. If we choose to go with the private school, no need for a letter of intent since there is some kind of an autonomy for private schools. I still don't drive. That's the major reason we decided to do the “homeschooling”. I know it's probably the best for her because she learns at her pace. She's turning 6 soon so I am now thinking of what to do next. For the past week or so, I've been trying to read more about this “homeschooling”. The information is overwhelming that I am somehow questioning myself if I can really do this. Can I?? Here's a rough draft of what she has learn...
