Yesterday I had my Homeschool County Review. This is done twice a year. I am required to show a portfolio of completed and dated work showing a progression for all the following subjects:
English
Reading
Health
Math
Science
History
Writing
Spelling
Art
Music
Physical Ed.
Even though I know I do a great job and I have all the requirements, it's still nerve racking. Sort of like being graded!
The reviewer looks through each piece and asks questions about them, it's pretty detailed. It's either a pass or a fail (compliant or noncompliant). If you are found to be noncompliant, then the county can require you to enroll your child back in public school. I was (obviously) compliant, and the reviewer said I was doing a fantastic job! PHEW...
We are nearing the end of the year and I'm excited for summer! We are on track to finish school by mid June!
About Me
- The cool family!
- You’ve made it to my blog! My name is Ryann, I’m 29 years old and my awesome husband is fast approaching (gulp) 37. We are the parents of two great daughters. Elle is our 8 year old and Naomi (affectionately referred to as Pinky) is our 4 year old. The fifth member of our brood is a hairy one, at just over 2 years old, Loki, the German Shepard. Loki dutifully guards our house for us while we’re away… and while we’re home. He also guards our car, our toys, our bikes; he pretty much has taken it upon himself to guard every object in the confines of our property. We love the outdoors and try to be out as much as possible. When we can’t be found outside during downtime, then it’s a safe bet we can be found at the range shooting our big scary guns. I’m pretty good, although Eric is better!
ELLE
Elle is our 8 year old. She is a bookworm and loves to play at the park. She recently got her ears pierced and discovered she likes wear my dangly earrings more than her own. She’s hard to get out of bed in the morning and is fast approaching tweenhood.
PINKY
At 4 years old, Pinky is a fireball. When she is good, she is very very good but when she is bad, she is horrid! Pinky has one passion in life and that is to have a cat! She also loves any and all coloring books and looks forward to starting kindergarten in the fall.

Way to go, you are doing a fantastic job.
Love mom
Congratulations! That sounds really nerve-wracking. It sounds like they hold you to higher standards than the schools.
