Homeschooling

This is our first year homeschooling our 4 year old, Penny. She threw us for a loop last year when she started reading at 3 1/2 years old, and this is our "test year" for homeschooling. I've gained so much confidence and made a lot of friends and connections within the homeschooling community so far this year, and I can say that homeschooling is something we definitely want to continue into next year. After that, we will take it year by year, child by child.
