Recording both the the "rosey" and "wosey" of home educating our 7 year old FULL time, having teachable moments with our 2 year old SOME time, while holding a baby ALL the time. Is it summer break yet?!!

  4. So, homeschooled children have to take state standardized tests? I had no idea!

  5. Thanks everyone!

    @ Brea - yes, the state requires testing each year for your records. If you are creating your own homeschool, you csn pick your testing. If you do the k12 homeschool, then you are required to take the state test starting in 3rd grade. I chose, through the advice of others, to do the ITBS. I'll do it again next year too.
