We finally had our front porch roof repaired last Wednesday from a leak we had been experiencing for some years. I had no doubt that my two youngest boys would be there with bells on watching and imitating. With a large third story window overlooking the porch roof, it would be a breeze to have […]
On my Homeschooling Creatively list, a question was asked about further explaining what I talk about when I discuss our strength-based learning model in our home. Here is the lister’s question:
When you teach to their strengths, does that mean gear your curriculum towards what they are good (ie- lots of time with music if that’s […]
Several of you bloggers got me thinking of how I could organize differently to best meet the needs of certain children in my family at this time. William and Joseph are high energy, low attention span boys, but still love to dabble in learning activities that I come up with. However, whenever I have tried […]
I have not had a lot of time to get on and blog, but will be hoping for some more time soon.
In the meantime, I wanted to direct everyone to the 5th Country Fair, where one of my blog posts is included. A great line up was gathered to share with diverse topics for […]
What a pleasant long weekend I’ve enjoyed with my family and friends. It can be tough to put in enough preparation and supports and flexibility in order for my whole family to equally enjoy outings together. Maybe I’ve got some of this parenting support stuff down more than I give myself credit for
Anyway, […]
I wanted to put together a brief explanation of my stages I shared in my previous post compared to other educational models out there, like a Thomas Jefferson Education or classical education or Montessori, etc. I had been quite amazed when I thought about how much my children’s learning lives had lined up with the […]
Alright, so I’ve put together my own version of learning stages that I feel represent what I have seen my children walk down in their own way. The reason I decided to come up with my own that is different from “A Thomas Jefferson Education” (TJE) that I shared in my last post is because […]
Over a year ago, I was able to hear Oliver DeMille, president of George Wythe College, speak about his “leadership education” idea. It seems to be an education system that marries a classical education with unschooling. There was a lot of good stuff about it. There were some definite things I didn’t like about his […]
Faith over at Dumb Ox Academy listed her top ten resources that make unschooling work for her family. After feeling overwhelmed by the extensive lists of homeschooling resources and goals that were being shared in the blog world, it was very centering to read Faith’s list and remind myself that we, too, have our “extensive […]
Susan at Imperfect Genius started a homeschooling meme that I thought I would get in on . . .
1) What country/region/state do you live in?
North Carolina, for the past six years.
2) How long have you been homeschooling? Just getting started, old pro or somewhere in between?
Hhhmmm, “old pro” implies that you know what you’re doing, […]
