Homeschool Resources
Welcome to Homeschooling
Let's explore what to do now that you have decided to homeschool. Included here is information about required paperwork, year-end assessments, and what goes into a portfolio review.
Coming soon: Curriculum Resources
Let's explore what's out there for curriculum resources and what fellow homeschoolers recommend!
Homeschool Portfolio Reviews
Share your homeschooling adventure with me during an online video meeting on Zoom. Using either a classic physical portfolio and or an oral narrative, this process will fulfill the state-required annual assessment. Be sure to bring your questions about educational resources and learning styles!
Midyear Check-In
Share your homeschooling adventure with me during an online video meeting on Zoom. Together we will review the student's academic progress and celebrations for the midyear. This optional check-in can help refocus your plan to meet your goals for the 2nd half of the school year.
Group Portfolio Reviews
Share your homeschooling adventure during an online group video meeting on Zoom. I will facilitate a group review of student's academic progress. Draw on the wisdom and experience of fellow homeschoolers during this relaxed group meeting. This will fulfill the state requirement for a year-end portfolio review.
