Looking for Home Schooling Resources and Experiences

I am seriously considering home schooling my son for a while. He has been a Christian School up until now. My plans are for him to return, but I have to create aome income to do that. He does not want to go to public school and I don't want him to go either. I want to make sure he is exposed, challenged and stimulated if we do this. I am not sure what the best resources are for home schooling and would like to connect with other families doing this.

What can I do next?

As a Christian, you're in luck, because there are tons of homeschool groups that center around Christianity.

I typed "homeschool groups Southfield Michigan" into Google and this is what I came up with. Note that I didn't even type "Christian" as part of that, so you could go back and add that and probably come up with more.

http://www.homeschoolcentral.com/support/michigan_homesch... - Homeschool Central seems like a comprehensive site.

http://www.homeschool.com/supportgroups/default.asp?State=MI -has a whole list of support groups in MI, and I see several that are close to you and Christian based.

http://www.home-school.com/groups/MI.html - another list of homeschool groups with descriptions

http://home.flash.net/~garykath/ - click on "getting started" for info on a workshop about beginning homeschooling.

http://home.flash.net/~garykath/supgr.html - a list of area support groups and contact people

http://homeschool.meetup.com/cities/us/mi/detroit/ -doesn't look like there are any meetups real close to you, but you can sign up to be notified when there are.

Good luck. Hope that helps.

Hi E.!
There is a good Home school Fellowship at Ward Evangelical Church in Northville. I have been to the meetings before and are very good. Let me know if you need more info!
