The accidental homeschooler (kinda)

So here we are. When I started this blog, it was with the stipulation that, while I provided resources that may be useful to homeschoolers I myself was not one. 

 And then Covid happened. For the past year, my kids have been home, but they've still been doing their synchronous public school. And this year, even though the pandemic is definitely not over, that isn't an option, but I'm still not comfortable sending my kids back to school. 

 I've considered a cyber charter school, but I have long time personal issues with the charter school model, and besides, you know what? If my kids are home with me, I don't really want to make them be online learning 5+ hours a day. So we're doing our own thing. As of now, we're still enrolling in asynchronous learning that will provide an hour or so of core curriculum a day, but I'm going to do the rest. I'm excited to try gameschooling, project learning, kinesthetic learning, and outdoor activities. 

 I have a feeling I'm not the only one in this position right now, so I thought maybe I'd come back here and share some of what we're trying, successes and failures both. i can't wait to have you join me on this journey.
