Well, it's that time of year.  Curriculum time.  At least it is for me.  I'm looking back and planning for the future.  I have been contacting companies about educational discounts and I keep running into a problem, they want me to have an official name for our school.  Their accountants prefer it if it doesn't have homeschool in the name.  So we decided to name our school and reap the benefits.  We got some ideas from A to Z Home's Cool.  We narrowed it down to two and we are now officially, drum roll, The Ocotillo Academy.  Bring on the discounts!

We've also decided to make our private homeschool site public.  This is the one the kids use regularly.  I had made a small public one with links, but got so many requests to see the real one, that I gave in.  I made a few changes to get it ready and there is a lot more information there now for fellow homeschoolers.
