A diverse Homeschooling Cooperative for families that love all things Fiction: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Magic, Myths, Time Travel, Animal Heroes: Ex. Series of Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, Junie B. Jones, Redwall,Dragon Slayers' Academy, Chrestomanci, Narnia, Roman Mysteries, Hayao Miyazaki anime, Time Warp Trio, Andrew Lost, & Magic Tree House.

These are the stories that capture our minds & hearts & deserve a place in our Homeschooling Curriculums. This site is for parents to swap ideas on how to use these topics in homeschooling making "school" fun for all of us.

We broke the "topics" out into other Yahoo Groups because the files/links got overwhelming. This will make it much easier to locate topics of interest. This is our main chat page, the other sites have topic based discussions & info: ex. mysteries or fantasy, to history or math/science/magic trick oriented pages. E.I.'s other Yahoo Groups are listed in the files area.

Local members(near Andrew's Air Force Base,MD -Southern MD, DC & Upper VA is close) can get together for occasional fieldtrips/playdates, while the non-local (virtual) members can link up for online discussions of topics as well. I would like to do online book chats eventually for parents & kids. Books & downloads can be posted & a discussion time set -either by email threads on the topic or live chat. Kids can read/be read to/audio books -whatever helps to be prepared. Help in setting these up would be highly appreciated. Also online scavenger hunts.

We'd love Craft Project ideas,Dioramas pics/ideas, share Recipe/Party ideas that go with our fave Fictional themes, fave book & authors lists (for kids & adults), plus fave movies + reviews, gaming (board/card/video), Anime, Animation, comic books, graphic novels, & cartoons.

We see a big gap in the homeschooling community in utilizing Science Fiction & Fantasy as a legitimate theme for homeschooling curriculums. Please feel free to add to all of our sites.
