Beginning in August of 2025, our homeschool will become Thomas Home Micro School. We will have a few children from the community coming to do school at home with us. I’m excited to share my hard earned teaching skills with the community. I’m also excited to give a few more kids an opportunity for an individualized education.
For a look at the way I teach, see my Home Schooling Philosophy, How to Teach Your Kids to Read, Layering Lessons Part 2, or Fun Days and Field Trips.
We’ll stick with our Monday – Thursday school week. Here’s a sneak peek at what our weekly schedule will look like:

**I’d love to teach your child cooking and nutrition skills by helping them cook lunch for our group once a week. You can see a summary of our nutrition standards on Simple Nutrition for your Kids. If you don’t love that idea, they are welcome to bring their own lunch.
