We are a homeschooling family with five children located in Orangevale, CA. From left to right our children are; Quintin (10 yrs.), Raiyna (12 yrs.) and Merrin (6 yrs.). Down in front is Zennin (8 yrs.). Not in this picture is our littlest homeschooler, Lexi. But you can see her picture here!
On this website you will be able to find out everything you ever wanted to know about homeschooling. You'll find things such as legal information, curriculum, field trips and unique fun projects.
While you are here please subscribe to our homeschool newsletter The Turtle Tales. In our newsletter we will have homeschooling articles and information - and most importantly - our homeschoolers will tell you what they're doing too! You'll hear about homeschooling directly from the homeschooled kid him/herself.
Most of the production of this website is by our children. Quintin completed the header graphic above and with my help he uploaded it. Furthermore, he designed the navigation buttons on the left hand side of this page too.
We feel that there are no limits to what a homeschooled child can create and achieve!
Thank you for stopping by today and please come back to visit often!
The homeschool Mom,
Kristin Hogue Villasenor
Mom's note: Everywhere I drive I see those bumper stickers that say "my child is an honor student at yada, yada...". So in rebellion the kids and I created our own motto. It is: "I honor my children by educating them at home!" Then we had some fun designing our own T-Shirts and stuff. Check them out at the Indigo River Academy Store! Thanks for your support!
