holyfamilyschool's Xanga Site -- This is a blog of a homeschooling family that is moving from my city to Oklahoma City. I have learned that there is a "blogring" called Families that Homeschool. I'll check it out when I have a chance.

It begins...

I have decided to put my homeschooling links here instead of on one of my "Baby" blogs. Since homeschooling would be for both of my boys, now I can make the "Baby" blogs about their development and personal insights again.

So, I have chosen a name for our homeschool... Lillily. I came up with this name while moving diapers from the washer to the dryer this evening. I even have idea for a logo, something with a lily in it. :-)

I am in the middle of reading a book, Real-Life Homeschooling, and was thinking about the chapters I had just read when it was time to move the diapers. My state doesn't officially have homeschools, it has "unaccredited private schools." All you have to do (if I remember what I have read) is register (with a name) as an unaccredited private school and tell the local public school district that your child(ren) will be attending a private school. The compulsory attendance age is 7 here, and some HSers have recommended waiting until the oldest child is 7 before registering with the state.
