A start for a technophobe


Well I finally succumbed to what everyone else has been doing for a while now and have mustered up the courage (and the time) to try and construct a blog. It will be a place to talk about our Family, our School and our feelings.
I have been homeschooling Anna and Eva since May this year after ps just became too much for Anna to deal with (High functioning Autism and ADHD). It's been wonderful to begin discovering both girls strengths and weaknesses, many of which have been overlooked in a regular classroom.
We started off using the Ambleside online (AO) curriculum which I loved but the girls didn't. After discussing Anna's deficits with some Autism experts we decided to switch curriculum and we're about to start FIAR tomorrow. We're starting off with "The Story of Ping", which will lead us into an exploration of China (Ancient Asia is an interest of Anna's). Anna's enthusiastic, Eva's enthusiastic and I'm excited to get back into things again!
