More Hours!

As previously posted, we need to fulfill 1000-hours of instruction each year we homeschool in Missouri.

Those 1000-hours include:

• 600 hours in Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies (Core)
  
• 400 hours in Core or Electives

Of the 600 hours minimum dedicated to Core subjects, 400 of those hours must be in the homeschool location, the remaining hours may be anywhere! Woot-woot for field trips!

The last 400 hours, for additional core or electives may also be done anywhere. So really, just 400 hours a year needs to be spent within your homeschool "base" - home. This leaves lots of options for field trips, programs in the community, and activities outside the home.
