Thank you so so much. As a parent in NY (slightly upstate in Putnam County) we are so excited about starting our daughter's home education. I feel like there is such a wealth of learning to be had in New York. We live within an hour of the city and can not wait to educate through experience.

I had been looking for help with my first IHIP and this is perfection! Thank you so so much!

Hi Leah, I live in NYC and have just embarked on home schooling my 7th grader. The idea actually came from him and as you mentioned, there is a wealth of knowledge out there. Sometimes, it gets to be a bit over whelming. What grade (if you don't mind me asking) is your home schooler?
