To celebrate the first week of school, tonight we went to Chuck E Cheese. The pictures are obviously not made with Chuckee. . .instead, the girls were more excited about the little girl statues outside of the restaurant.

First Day of Friday School
Yes, we homeschool, and we love it. . .but my saving grace is Friday School. Because there are so many homeschoolers in Colorado, the public school system started offering a day of school just for them. It's full of extra curricular activities such as art and science lab and geography and PE and Kindergarten and. . .you get the idea. So at the end of every week the girls get one day, 8:30 - 3:30, to really go to school. It's a great balance for us. This year there are over 130 kids in the program we attend and today they were all thrilled to say the least. . .especially Olivia. There has never been a more excited Kindergartener. She bounced all the way to her class, waved and blew me a kiss as she ran to high five her teacher and enter into her classroom.

where can I get some info about this day of school.
The best way is to email optionsbroomfield@hotmail.com This puts you in contact with Stephanie Scorrato, the principal. She is great and will answer any of your questions.
I love the idea of Friday School! I am homeschooling again after a four year break. TN should get a program like that. Do you have to register them through the state (instead of under your religious rights laws) to benefit from the program?
Yes, in the eyes of the state they are public school kids. But that really means nothing to me except that it actually provides a bit of protection. They don't dictate at all what I do at home. They just make tax $ off of us I suppose. In CO you have to get your kids tested every odd year of school - standardized IOWA test. As long as the girls meet standards, we are good to go. The Friday school provides the testing and staffs with certified public school teachers. It's a pretty cool deal all around. O, and it's free. But like I said. . .there are LOTS of homeschoolers in CO!! They need to make money on us somehow. :-)
