*In addition to the above resources, our two oldest will be attending a homeschool co-op each week and take classes there. The girls have Keepers at Home meetings once per week in our home as well. Last but not least, we belong to two different homeschool support groups and meet with other families for themed park days, field trips, etc... at least once per month.
