The Mirkes Academy is Now Official!

Well, we are off and running!!!

We thought, prayed and drew on our homeschool friend's knowledge and made the decision to homeschool our 8 yo and send our 5 yo to brick and mortar Kindergarten!

Last night was "Meet the Teacher" night for TI and we proclaimed out loud our intentions for the first time to other parents, staff and friends for Lula. It was exciting, but a little scary and the reactions were mixed. While some seemed happy for us and supported the decision, others faces were clouded with disapproval. This does not sway or bother me, as only we can make the right decision for our daughter.

I am really looking forward to our days of homeschooling and the adventures that come with it!

We have decided to go with K12 right now, in order to get on our feet. I plan to continue to investigate all our options and could possibly switch to something else, but feel that the first step of bringing Lula home was most important. Yes, it was the easy way "in" to homeschooling, but at this point, we just needed "in".

Heeere WE GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
