Is there change in the air?

Around this time of year, there are always families who realize that their current school situation isn't working.  Then comes that wonderful feeling of falling off the "homeschool cliff"....without a parachute!

Well, have no fear, your parachute is here.  Here, in 3 easy steps I'll tell you how to homeschool in the state of Florida.

1. Join a local support group.  You're going to need people around on "those days".  When I facilitate homeschool orientation, I refer to it as "those days when you understand why some animals eat their young".  It's also great to have people you can call on when you have questions. 
2. Join the FPEA, your state support group.   We have amazing members (and some will be in your back yard!)  The convention is a MUST NOT MISS event (I'll be sure to blog more about that later).  There is a lot of strength in the FPEA, after all it's been around for over a quarter century!
3. After you join the FPEA, you can download this amazing  FPEA Guide to Homeschooling in Florida.  It has info about the law, record-keeping, learning styles....pretty much if you need to know it, it's in this little book!  I still refer to it and I've been teaching other people how to homeschool for over 5 years (and been homeschooling for 13 years).

So if you're thinking of taking up "cliff diving" this Christmas break and opening your homeschool; come on in the water's fine!  You'll have the most fun you've ever had learning...right along with your kids!
Oh, and Merry Christmas!
Feeling blessed, how about you?
