Hey Folks! So, many of you know Logan is starting school this fall and he is SO excited! I've been studying all of our options (who knew there were so many?!) and we've decided to go with Ohio Virtual Academy.
Fair warning: I am now climbing on top of my soap box. :-)
The coolest part of this virtual academy is that it's a charter school (free- paid for with tax dollars) and the school provides everything- a computer, printer, internet, teacher in charge of grades and watching progress, awesome lesson plans (at least I've been really impressed with the sample ones), supplies, tests, etc. and all I do is teach. TEACH! I LOVE teaching! :-) I loved teaching my K-5 students before I had my kiddies, I loved teaching Pre-K (by far my best class ever) after I had my kiddies, and what could be better than teaching my favorite student (sorry past-students who believed they may have been the favorite...) every day and not having to plan the lessons?! I'm lucky enough to have some friends and family members already using virtual academies (or starting this year), so I've been able to get the nitty gritty info and answers to all my crazy questions. I know education is a super-touchy subject, but as I always told my student's parents- you do what works for your student and your family- and if you make a decision and it's not quite what you'd hoped, try something else! :-) No one should fault you for doing what's best for your student.
So- any of you locals doing the OHVA thing this year? Let me know- I'd love to put together a weekly something or other! :-) p.s. Enrollment just started!

Hey girl, I just enrolled the kids today for K and 1st. I'm still a little hesitant, but I wanted to reserve us a spot . We still won't know until May or June, but I do love the curriculum so far. We need to talk again. Love you guys!!!
Good for you guys and I couldn't agree more with the whole 'do what works for thing'. We love CAVA and have already enrolled for the 2008/09 school year. We are very excited about it all and eager to move forward! We are watching this recent CA homeschool ruling very closely though as it does affect us.
Anna is attending a local charter school, herself. Is this a school where Logan would actually go and attend or is it a school that you do at home?
The lessons are taught at home, and then there are activities scheduled throughout each month. :-)
That sounds like an awesome option!! :)
Good luck- I'm excited to see how it goes. Logan's lucky to get such a great teacher for kindergarten. :-)
Yeah - another homeschooler in the neighborhood!
