So, now that I have figured out how this blog thing works, I can officially do our first post. Which is technically our third post. Oh well, things never work out quite how you plan.
As I will explain in some subsequent post in more detail, I have given notice at my 9-5 fixed job and am making a job change. Among other things, I am becoming a homeschool second/third grade teacher for the summer. We pulled the girls out of school and are finishing up second grade and starting parts of third grade on the road abroad. “World School” is the technical term.
We hope to be doing lots of traveling as a family and doing short bursts of “road schooling” or “world-schooling” and then sending the girls back into their classroom. Luckily, we are in a private school and thus do not need to go through the Robocalls and/or requests for independent study process — and we will not be reported to Child Welfare as “truants.” We will just teach on the road, and let the girls engage in some self-directed learning. We will be using this blog to catalog where we go, and how the world schooling project is going. The girls will do blog posts for homework as well and will love to get feedback.
So, officially, welcome to our blog about travel, world-schooling and …. Axelrod adventures!
We left California last week. Our first stop is Oahu, Hawaii because it is….party time!
