Mamegoma Homeschool

You know how educational institutions generally have pretty serious names - they get named after some important historical figure or a saint or a road, etc. Our homeschool is different. Well just the idea of homeschooling is considered to be radical, so it is not surprising that we did not bother with convention when it came to naming our homeschool.

But why Mamegoma? What is Mamegoma? Mamegoma is a character created by San-X which is a Sanrio type of company. They are adorable baby seals which the girls and I absolutely love so we decided to name our homeschool after them. The classes are named after their favourite species of Mamegomas - Tai Pi is in Pandagoma class, Pumpkin is in Shimagoma class and Sai Pi (who attends Kindergarten in the morning and is a "part-time" student with Mamegoma Homeschool) is in Sakuragoma class.

So that's the origin of our homeschool name. No fancy history or meaning; just based on something we love.

Aren't they adorable?
