Karen & David Hoogland

Hello everyone!

We are new to the list...and new to homeschooling as well!!

I am a full time mom/teacher/chauffeur/referee *S* to three boys: Tim (10);
Jeff (8) and Doug (6) ....we also have our five year old niece with
us...Victoria is 5. We began homeschooling Tim last February (he is ADHD
and considered gifted...our school district had NO clue what to do with
him!!). Hs'ing went so well with Tim, that we decided to homeschool them
all!!

We are planning to officially start in another week or so (my boys want to
start the same day as the public school...I think that is on 8/24).
Actually, we have 'schooled' in a rather unschooling way all summer...lots
of reading, math and trips to the zoo and museums.

Dh is a Carpenter, by trade. He is also a CubMaster for our scout pack...I
am the treasurer and religious coordinator (Luckily, I was able to pawn off
the Candy Sale responsibilities on another family for this year!!). I also
teach CCD at our church....I formerly taught 6th grade, but this next year I
am teaching 4th grade. And, I have also signed up for two classes at an
area college this fall (Tuesday and Thursday evenings). I am looking
forward to attending classes again.

I don't really plan to use a set 'curriculum'....I did get each of the kids
a math book from ABeka...but everything we are go to do on our own. My
older two boys are in 4-H club...I plan to use their projects for a lot of
our 'school' work.

Anyhow, it's great to be part of this list!!
~~Karen
