What is I.H.I.P.?  It stands for INDIVIDUALIZED HOME INSTRUCTION PLAN. This is the document which is supposed to be written out for the state to accept your home-schooling life.  This document contains the child's (or student's) subjects, curriculum, and syllabus. I think we all know what is the definition of "subject".  It's the general word describing the thing/object of interest. What's our subject?  It could be reading, writing, arithmetic, health, geography, etc. But what is curriculum?  And syllabus? cur·ric·u·lum [kəˈrikyələm] NOUN the subjects comprising a course of study in a school or college. synonyms: syllabus · course of study/studies · program of study/studies · educational program · subjects · modules · timetable · schedule   syl·la·bus [ˈsiləbəs] NOUN an outline of the subjects in a course of study or teaching.

Hello students and teachers   Home-School notebooks of Civilogy The children do use a lot of paper in their notebooks and artbooks.  This is a home-school which uses paper.  Going back to the paper.  Not so much about the electronic screens in the class, for the lessons.  Not so much of that computer dependency. But as you can see we have a website, we still use that technology - in balance with Nature. These are some comics/cartoons we are working on, its a rough draft. This shows the Principal's background-experience Peter Tasciotti was working on the United Nations online, he was a longtime member of the project: Tasciotti and oldest son, in Washington DC

Field trips are fun! A great way to read and see about new things and satisfy our sense for adventure! We visited the Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston, NY. Here we read about the animals we viewed and were able to even pet a few!
