I decided with all my new ventures that I would start posting again. This will be our third year homeschooling Fiona and Anya's first year for kindergarden.
This year is jam packed! I've decided to offer five sessions (6weeks in lenth) of Waldorf-Inspired Art classes to children aged 4-14. So far 2 of my 5 class times are full and one is well on its way to being full. This has been a tremendous way for me to share my experience as a homeschooling mother and artist.
Also, the co-op I was involved in last year is expanding and we will be doing some very nifty things with the older children as well as keeping the time for the little ones. I feel like I have such a rich diverse community of families to draw support from!
We're also hosting and planning a number of celebrations and festivals throughout the school year. I have to say that when I started homeschooling three years ago, I wasn't sure just how to build or become a part of a community like the one me and my family have, but here we are. Sometimes you just have to try stuff and it works!
We will also be working on a farm this year one day a week. I've dreamed of doing something like this for years! And here we are again! Its a beautiful farm that was started by a beautiful family and is now going to be run by a dear friend of mine. Both Anya and Fiona love it there, and they can't wait to get started with all the chores and milking the goats. I think my girls will have so many rich experiences to remember when they are older because of this and everything else David and I have done raising them.
