Alexa - 12, Left public school toward the end of 3rd grade in March of 2009 and has been home since, happily homeschooling with Oak Meadow. Enjoys reading, arts and crafts, Girl Scouts, Judo, doing her nails, and being with friends.

Ben - 7, Has never been to any outside school. Currently doing 1st grade at home. Enjoys computer, video and board games, silly jokes, legos, soccer, rough-housing, and occasional cuddling and reading.

We are a relaxed/eclectic, secularly homeschooling, liberal family living in Pennsylvania and thoroughly enjoying Life Without School!

OUR CURRENT CURRICULUM/MATERIALS:

This year, Alexa is using: Oak Meadow 6 Ancient Civilizations and English; Oak Meadow Basic Life Science; Story of the World; Sentence Composing for Middle School; and Teaching Textbooks Math 6.

Ben is using the Oak Meadow 1st Grade curriculum and Reading Eggs.

I'm a pretty relaxed homeschooler. We do school around life, not life around school. We use a fun, hands on curriculum that isn't overly time consuming and isn't dry or textbookish, and we're always willing to drop it for the time being if something fun or interesting comes up.
