Alpine Valley School : Visit : A Colorado Private Sudbury School
Alpine Valley School : Visit : A Colorado Private Sudbury School -- a Sudbury school seems like unschooling a bunch of kids at the same time, to me. This one is in a Denver suburb. They have "play days" on Wednesday mornings for kids age 3-6, and weekly tours on Thursday mornings. I'd like to visit there. Maybe the next time we go to Estes Park, our Denver visit day can be on Wednesday. (Our next visit is after their last day of school, but since DS2 will still be 2, we can try for the time after that.)

Comprehensive Schools Mathematics Program
Comprehensive Schools Mathematics Program -- I think I found our math curriculum! CSMP is completely free, teaches things visually and with manipulatives, and is a different approach than many math curriculums.

Hoagies' Gifted Education: Gifted 101: A Guide for First Time Visitors
Hoagies' Gifted Education: Gifted 101: A Guide for First Time Visitors -- a link given to me by a Haysville mom that I have "met" 3 times, from 3 different sources, in the past week. I think I'm supposed to get to know her. I hope I don't obsess, but I'm really starting to thing about DS1's education a lot. Maybe it's because I overheard one of the daycare teachers saying "Those R------ boys sure are smart." last week (with my 2 yr old in the room). I wonder what he did. I feel compelled to read a lot and start planning. Not planning specific instruction or curriculum, but planning my resource pool.
