Well hubby and I decided to homeschool our daughter this year. We have been pondering the idea for awhile. We just decided to do it. Are there any mothers that could help me out on finding a group in this area and/or getting me started in the right direction?
Search the yahoo groups. There is HHTB - Holistic Homeschoolers of Tampa Bay and we meet in S. Tampa at Kate Jackson Park on Wednesdays wehre the park holds a homeschool class. Our yahoo group is called learnNplay
If you are interested in a Christian curriculum, I run an online academy.
Well, I'm not in your area - I'm in Temple Terrace, but I just wanted to wish you good luck! This is my second year of homeschooling, and my 2 oldest are 7 and 5. I don't know what you're looking for in curriculum, but there are tons of resources out there. Last year, I used curriculum based from the book "The Well-Trained Mind," which is a classical model of education, but I have gone a different route this year, with a curriculum called "Moving Beyond the Page." It's a more creative/hands-on learning approach, which is literature-based. Let me know if you need any specific advice.
I am not in Citrus Park, but Yahoo has a homeschool loop that I subscribe to and it gives me information for my area. You can find groups, classes, PPEA, and other things to help you get started and continue. I have been homeschooling for 4 years and I have found this link to be very valuable. I am sure they have one for your area. Here is the link for the loop and maybe that will help you find your area. Good luck.
