Sharing The Homeschool Heart...How do you plan to use the OSP?
For my middle grades, I am unsure. I am still in the phase of building independence into their routine. I am not quite sure they are ready for a free-for-all of the online content. I do like fun learning games and apps, though, so I may decide to opt them in for some fun math practice!
My youngest learners who are still fine-tuning their reading skills will have access to Reading Eggs and ABC Mouse! We have used Starfall in the past accompanied by a lot of reading great literature to them in the learning-to-read phase, and I think that just a bit more fun with phonics from these apps could do the trick.
What are your plans with our Online Subscription Package? Do you know that if you decided to opt-out, you would receive an additional $400 in instructional funds in February of 2020? Those funds can be used for classes and curriculum as well! If you want to know more about the OSP options, be sure to catch the upcoming webinars. Recordings of past webinars will be posted on the OSP Handbook site. Keep in mind that you can utilize the opt-in or opt-out feature with all of your children; your decision doesn't have to be the same for each child.
Your Homeschool Teacher will be back in the office on August 1st and will soon send out more info for the OSP. In the meantime, you can reach out to Audrey or me with questions about how to incorporate our OSP options into your daily homeschool routine!

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 6 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 7 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
