Curriculum Ideas

What have been your favorite curriculum choices? What has worked well for you? If you know of something that you'd like to share with other home school families, just shoot me an email with the info and I will add it to the new "Curriculum Ideas" page that you can access from the link above.

How about local field trip recommendations? Local co-ops or activities? Books your child/children love? I'd love to create a page for those, too.

Thanks to Shelly Zabawa for the first idea!

Field Day Information - This Friday!

If we are counting the field day as our LP10 meeting, please bring work samples and your filled out draft report cards (K-5). I will have a black crate of folders with student names on them near the sign-in area. Attendance forms will be inside. Please initial the attendance form(s) and place your work samples and draft report cards inside. Grades 6-12, please update your progress tab (grades) and PE log on your semester plan prior to the field day. Remember, you can update grades until the last day of school, just notify me if that is the case so I record them correctly. Thanks!

Field Day in Jackson

Date: May 26, 2017

Time: 9:30 to 12:30

Where: Detert Park

(Information copied from the WIRE)
One of the highlights of Visions’ annual events is Field Days, a fun day of field games and activities organized by Visions staff and held at a variety of parks throughout our service area. This is a great opportunity for students and families to get to know and network with other home school families. And for kids to expend some energy!

Games are supervised by Visions CTs and staff, and the day ends with a family barbecue of hot dogs, chips, and lemonade.

You won’t want to miss this day of fun and activities!

Important Details

Networking & Family Barbecue
