Mr. E was the last one to start school. He started yesterday. We're trying a new school this year called CAVA (California Virtual Academy) they use the K12 curriculum. Home schooling your children is such an overwhelming experience in itself but trying to choose a curriculum just about did me in last year. There are so many choices, it will make your head spin. Our school last year worked like this. They gave you an allotted amount of money each year for you to buy your curriculum and materials. Yes, that can be fun, you can do a lot of cool things with it including music lessons and certain sports. (That's how Mr. E and Liv took Rock climbing) like I said, trying to narrow down WHATt to buy is enough to drive a person crazy. I just didn't want to do it this year. So I heard about
K12. It's an online public school. It's supposed to be a really good curriculum. The best part? I didn't have to pick out anything. Two big boxes were shipped right to my door, filled with all the text books, workbooks, dirt, rocks (for Science) that he will need for the year. At this age, the curriculum is mixed online learning and book learning. As you get into High School it's more online learning. Anyway, I'm excited. Hopefully, I'll feel the same way by the end of year.

there is a chair positioned perfectly behind Mr. E's head that makes him look like an elf! funny.)
