Spoke to the local schools
I spoke with the schools but have not been working with them like I had planned. My daughter fell ill with End Stage Kidney Failure shortly after my last past. A result from Microscopic Polyangiitis, which she inherited from me. My arthritis came from the same thing. Anyways as a result of chatting with the schools I came to find out that they are switching over to laptops instead of using textbooks. So I bought a new Windows 8 PC and got a lot of Apps for most of our school. There are so many great free Apps for Homeschooling. The kids love it. Lots more fun learning going on at our house now. We do still use some textbooks. I will eliminate them all as time goes by. School is so much quicker now. :)

Homeschool Registration and Communication with the Schools.
I just registered my kids with the 2012/2013 school year. I have always been very leery on doing that due to my upbringing, but I came to realize that when the children are registered with the province you get a lot of free resources and help in all kinds of areas such as, used loaner or cheap textbooks for sale.
Also if you are brave enough and get in contact with the schools they are more then willing to help in so many different areas. This will be my first year in communicating with the schools in my district and to work with them. I will keep you all posted in how it works for me. All the benefits or setbacks that I will encounter.
We will be doing a lot more hands on learning this year. A new thing for us, when we were on the road we did a lot of book learning and now that we will be at home we are going to try more hands on learning with only some textbook learning. I feel that the children will have a lot more fun in doing so. I will keep you all posted on our weekly journey. I am also planning a lot more outings for extra learning. To mention a couple; meet with local Artists, and Science Museum.
If anything this will at least be an exciting adventure to go on. :)
Hope you all enjoy. I wish you all the best in this years homeschooling year.
Wish all of you lots of fun with your kids!
