Arizona Homeschool Support Question

Arizona Homeschool Question

Arizona Homeschool Question

New-to-homeschooling mom is looking for Arizona homeschool support and social interaction for her family...

My name is Tammy and I am new to the homeschool program. We have decided to homeschool our children because my husband travels all over the world because of work. Our son is 9 and our daughter is 8.

We're going to start our school year out in September just to keep with the schedule of State of Washington. We are currently in Arizona and will be here until the end of November.

Kids here in Arizona have already started school and my kids are already extremely bored. I've been trying to find some homeschool group activities in Arizona thinking this would give the kids an opportunity to meet other children their ages doing the homeschool program too. I haven't been able to find anything online.

Is there certain place that I should be looking when looking up groups in different States and/or Countries? I'm concerned about them not having any social interaction with children their own ages. Any help that you could give me would really be appreciated.
