New Blog Pages

I posted a few new blog pages with information about how to find Visions vendors in your area, how to order vouchers, and how to find information about enrichment classes. You can find them at the top of this page.


Please feel free to post a comment on the pages about classes and events that you would recommend to other home school families.

Work Samples Simplified

I think I may have made the idea of gathering work samples much more complicated than it needs to be. Sorry for that.

The basics of work samples:
I will collect work samples at each meeting.
That means only once per LP :)

Work samples should consist of:
  • 1 paper sample per subject, per student
    • On 8 1/2 by 11 standard size paper, should be consistent with what is noted in your semester plan.
  • 1 discussion, demonstration or display sample per subject, per student
    • Can be demonstrating a  karate move, playing a song, showing me a model or a project, sharing pictures of a field trip, showing me your progress on a computer program, reciting a poem, summarizing a story, reading to me, showing me how to do a math problem, etc.
Please let me know if you have any questions about work samples or are having any anxiety around them. Thanks!
