End of a Fabulous Year!

I am so emotional about the end of this school year. 

As a teacher, and a mommy. 

Before this year began, I was worried that doubling the size of our class would make recreating the positive, loving, accepting atmosphere difficult. Boy, that fear was put to rest. 

This is why prefer not to do "a la carte" classes.  This is why the "Electives Option" is offered in a bundle, instead of as individual classes.  This is not just about Spanish, or art, or agriculture. Its greater intent is to foster this bonding, talking, learning, and the formation of real friendships, and real teacher relationships. 

I love each and every one of them, and I am so very proud of them all! 

Register Now!

We are currently registering students for the 
4th-6th Grade "Elective Option."

This class currently has TWO openings.  
Students will meet each Tuesday from 8:45-1:30.
The class day includes : Health/Agriculture, Art, lunch with peers, Spanish, & Independent Study (parent assigned academics in a classroom atmosphere).

Forms can be sent to holly@freebirdfarm.com, or email me for mailing address.

Thank you!

A Child's Perspective

There are many many options when it comes to homeschooling.  You can find excellent co-ops, a la carte style classes, meet-ups, field trips, and play dates in the park.  We are a place where homeschooled children can experience a relaxed, accepting, and positive classroom environment with a cohesive group of peers throughout the year. 

This is a paper that one of our first graders wrote for her weekly writing assignment.  The topic was, "My Favorite Day of the Week".  It made my heart soar!

Information on 2013-2014 Classes

After much deliberation, here is what Inman Hybrid Homeschool Program has to offer for 2013-2014!

• Tentative Weekly Schedule

•  Tentative Calendar

The 2013-2014 schedule will consist of two options for upper elementary students.

• The first option is an electives option, which will include art, Spanish, an independent study class period, Health, Agriculture, and a time for lunch. This option runs on Tuesdays from 8:45-1:30. It will require the same year long commitment as the full program, fostering the same sense of belonging and bonds of friendship. This option is limited to 6 students. 
• The second option includes both the elective classes listed above, as well as the academic subjects: social studies, science, grammar & writing, and literature. This program will be similar to, but a step-up from, the more rigorous academic classes of this year. These classes will be limited to a smaller number of students (6 students) who are able to work on a 6th grade or above grade level, without modification. Math is not included in the academic program. Although math will not be tutor-led, there will be a strict, silent, independent study class in which students will complete parent-assigned math, as well as any other work they may need to complete. Students interested in the full academic program must submit an application for entry. Current students will be considered before this option is open to the public.

The 2013-2014 first and second graders:

• Our first/second grade program has been modified to allow for parent-controlled academics and curriculum choices. This program will act a stand-alone enhancement to any homeschool curriculum. This program, called "Farm Fusion", blends together the most successful and student-loved aspects of the first grade program: agriculture, storytime, writing, arts/crafts, free-standing language arts mini-lessons, and social development activities. It will consist of four, 4 week "workshops", each centered around an agricultural topic. This class will require a year long commitment, in order to foster the same friendships and belonging as we have enjoyed in the past.
• See Tentative Calendar for dates.

These modifications and changes were not created due to any one factor, nor are they a reflection on the current school year! As my children get older, my needs change at home. I am hoping to better balance my time between my older two and younger two children in the upcoming year. This includes dropping my girls off and picking them up from preschool (which I have never done!), attending holiday parties, and spending more time helping my boys with their assignments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There are an incredible number of factors involved in each year's schedules. As a director, mom of many, teacher,  accountant, farmer, home-builder, wife, and more, I have to take all of this year by year!
