We're in the south suburbs of Chicago (Mokena). Anyone nearby that would like to meet up at a park sometime? We have an almost 8 year old son.

I am in Rockford, anybody nearby?

We're in Chicago and would really love to meet up with some local unschooling families. We don't leave the city often, as we don't have a car, but do travel into Evanston frequently.

No activity in this group for a while.

We are in Peoria, but travel north to Rockford and Wisconsin/Illinois border monthly.

Interested in a road trip first weekend in May? The Wisconsin Parent's Association home school conference info is now available online. http://www.homeschooling-wpa.org/conference/

Hey Kim. I think you are near (or nearer than me) to the Johnsburg resource center http://www.johnsburglibrary.org/content/about-homeschool-resource-center-hrc . You can get any book from there. Check out the yahoo groups for Illinois homeschool or unschooling for the current offerings of activities, groups, etc. If you guys can't make it to the Conference then maybe some of the cd's from Live and Learn conference might help. Here are some free ones too http://www.altruists.org/downloads/by_subject/others/education/ .

Anyway, welcome! I know there are alot of homeschoolers in Algonquin/Lake in the Hills area!

Hi Kim. Perhaps you and your husband could attend the upcoming InHome conference. (see link below) If not, I would recommend checking out Home Education magazine from your library. There are several outstanding books on unschooling, but if your husband is too busy to read them, like mine was, shorter articles may work better.

Hi everyone-I need help! First let me say I am so glad I found this group! I have been searching for the past week for some Illinoians who are homeschooling. I have not started yet but am really interested and am freaking out! I live in Algonquin near the lovely Randall Road Corridor! I dont know where to start, how to make the jump or how to get my husband to feel secure with this decision. He is type A all the way and will be lost if he does not have a report card to judge! :-)!! Any suggestions-a seminar or anything my husband and I can attend?

So happy to meet you all!!

I second the recommendation on Alison Mckee. My husband attended her workshop years ago and it really helped him trust unschooling.

The brochure is up online for the InHOME conference, to be held March 5-7 at the Pheasant Run resort in St Charles.

Allison McKee is worth going to listen to if you haven't before.
