Here's pics of the kids with their school stuff that arrived from the States, courtesy of k12.com. In my research I read some reviews of this curriculum that when they received their k12 stuff some things were missing--items from the science kits, a book from the literature box, etc. I was concerned that ordering an entire curriculum for 6 kids would mean we would most definitely be missing some items. I was not wrong. Fortunately, it isn't a lot. However, some missing items are important. For example, we're missing Critter's entire science experiment box and Petey's entire Literature box. Then there are a few odds and ends. However, they were helpful in getting things in order and the rest of the stuff should be on its way.
I was surprised that the the items arrived as quickly as they did. It was here when we got back from our trip back home. I was even more surprised that it actually made it here at all considering the address on the boxes. I was very clear in the address as the street is Ibn Khalid and I knew I couldn't just say that over the phone and expect them to get it right. I spelled it all out to make sure it would be correct. I didn't think though that I'd need to spell "Cairo." When the boxes arrived I noticed they'd spelled it "Kyro." Should the fact that I ordered an entire years worth of curriculum for 6 of my children from a company specializing in homeschool curriculum that can't correctly spell "Cairo" concern me?

I'm really excited and curious to see how you like the k12 curriculum. We have an online public school here that uses it, so it would be an easy option for us next year. (Since it's a public school the whole curriculum is free, too!) I've heard that it's pretty teacher (parent) intensive, though, so you'll have to update us on how well it works for you guys. Very exciting!
har har har-- notice im the only one still in my pjs xD
I used K12 for the brief time I homeschooled (through a charter school in CA), and loved the curriculum. Seeing your pictures reminds me of getting everything - it felt like Christmas!
After 3 days we really like this curriculum. We're doing it strictly homeschool though (not affiliated with any schools) so the parent-intensity is as much or little as I want it. I don't have to submit attendance reports, time spent, or other things like that. But it also means we pay for it. Instead of the private school allowance we get from Todd's company, we just used that for our homeschool curriculum.
Some homeschool to get away from the structure of traditional school. I homeschooled to get a bit of that structure back after having my kids attend the schools here in the ME for the last 2 years. It's looking like the k12 curriculum will fit our needs.
And it was totally like Christmas!
