I intend to start a home school for my two children to supplement their public education. I work 40 hours a week, so it will only be open evenings and weekends, mostly weekends. I imagine 2-4 hours per week. We'll have lots of field trips. I have a great deal of confidence in the public school system to teach reading, writing and arithmetic. I have very little confidence in my own ability to teach music, so I think I'll start my school with art, science, history and Spanish. I came to Wikiversity to find age appropriate content organized into daily lesson plans, but after looking around a bit, I really didn't see what I was looking for, then I realized this has only been up for two years. I hope I can make a meaningful contribution here.

I’m a bit confused about how a learning plan is related to a day or a year in a classroom. If anyone can offer any insights, please leave a note on my talk page.

I’m also curious about schools and portals; they both seem to be organized by subject matter: humanities, science, social studies, etc. Why do we have both?
