DawnM Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I may be in. It will depend on the day/time. Are there any older kids? I will probably only bring my youngest if it is a young crowd.

smgwynn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi ladies! I just noticed this thread and wanted to let you know about a co-op that meets in the Charlotte area. I noticed that a couple of you are new to the area and co-ops sure do help out in the friend department. Our co-op is centered around TOG, Apologia science, and IEW. We're about 28 families now and I'll just tell you that it has been such a blessing to my crew! We're opening up for applications starting this month if any of you are interested. PM me and I will be happy to give you more info. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhomemaker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just wondering how y'all have met other homeschoolers here.. Do you participate in a co-op, meet through other homeschool classes, park days etc? I've been feeling kind of on my own lately and would like to have some homeschool friends (for me and the kids), but some of the threads on here have scared me about co-ops.

Pretty much everyone at my church homeschools and all of us in different ways. That's definitely been a blessing for me because I can't drive so can't get out much through the week.

Lisa in SC Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 We're just south of the border also. We'll be moving to the Charleston area in the summer, but are here for now. I'd be open to a meet up of some kind (park day, etc.)...although I have only one whom I still call "little." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorrelZG Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 This may seem random but .. I have a kind of large wooden puzzle of Australia that was given to me by a friend when she closed her Montessori school and it needs a new home because we are moving. Would any of you ladies appreciate it? I ask here because I need someone to come pick it up because I can't drive and shipping it would be awkward and expensive. PM me if you're interested. I'll link a photo in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy G Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi We are moving- do not know for sure where yet because of job. However Charlotte area is quite likely. We would be south of Charlotte. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion of living in North vs South Carolina as far as ease of homeschooling? I heard that in SC kids can play on athletic teams at the local school and that would be nice. Other consideration or thoughts? Is one state more friendly in general to homeschoolers?

CarolinaHomeschooler Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Kathy, They're about equal, from what families who've homeschooled in both states tell me. I think SC may edge out NC now due to the sports issue, if sports is important to you. NC homeschoolers have to register and test, but they don't have to show the results to anyone. The state may request to see them, but from what I understand, you can ignore the request. (Hopefully NC homeschoolers will clarify this more.) In SC, if you choose Option 3, most homeschool associations don't require testing and records review, or anything like that. You just register with them, check off on a form that you're abiding by the law, and that's that.

CarolinaHomeschooler Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just a note that I've posted several new field trips in our area - Strange Science (at Discovery Place), and Robotics and Rocketry labs (Columbia, SC). Also the deadline to register for the Mayan History camp-in (Feb. 15-16 at the SC State Museum) is approaching. For more info about these and other trips, field trips, and camps, see http://www.carolinahomeschooler.com/atravel.html I'm also planning a meet-up in Rock Hill, SC, for next week. I'll post more details soon. Warmly, Dianna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a daughter that is nine months old. We don't homeschool yet, obviously, but we plan to and I have been researching! We are looking to meet people who share our interests.
