And we're off

We're off with the new school year.

Here's our class photo.

She cleans up well, but not without protest.

After some last minute decisions and re-shuffling things are finally set. Sofia will be homeschooling this year and taking one or two classes outside the home for leisure.  We will be working through a company providing distance learning resources which are connected to Quail Run Primary School.  In this way, she is still considered a student of the charter school for which they receive funding, although she won't be participating in any of their programs.

Here's Sofia's homeschool lineup for the 3rd grade.  (We may dial it back a bit if the ADHD, or the Kindergartener, orrrrr the drunken midget, starts to intefere with our time.  This is just the initial plan).
