school is in session at Hall College Prep Academy! monday was our first day and we are off to a great start! it's technically still summer: 100 degrees outside, the pools are still open, and the neighborhood kids have a week before school starts, but we were ready. one of the things i love about homeschooling is the flexibility to set our own schedule and go at our own pace. i usually don't set a start date or end date, only goal-dates for beginning and finishing our work, usually aligning with the ISD calendar.
