Thinking Outside the Box (1:30 p.m.)
Presented by Families for Home Education
Are you wondering how you are going to get those 1000 hours or struggle trying to figure out where to log an activity? How do you keep records when you unschool? Homeschooling is not like public school, and we often must "think outside the box" to educate our children and get our required hours. Join us for some ideas on what to count and where you can log it into your records.
