Going as a couple to the convention allowed us to experience the speakers together. We reminded ourselves of our commitment together to educate our children. While I do the majority of the day to day teaching, I wouldn’t be successful without my husband’s support and occasional “substitute teaching”. We were able to discover philosophies together and programs that we both liked that would work for our family.
I have started creating my own pages similar to the Handwriting Without Tears worksheets for him to use based on their interests: specifically, Star Wars! It was an easy win: I made these Star Wars pages for him to practice and for you to enjoy as well.
Welcome to Monday in our homeschool! It’s fun to see what real life looks like for someone else, so come take a peek inside a normal day for us. We are in our 5th year of homeschool, this year we have 4th grade, 3rd grade, and Kindergarten going on. Our homeschool this year includes online classes, family subjects, special needs.
Our school year is half over and in many ways it feels like it flew by and also went at a snail’s pace. Either way, here we are at the mid-point evaluating our initial plans. We tried several new things this year, many of which worked great! A few things worked not so well. We started the year with doing more online classes, a new local drop off co-op, and have one in public school. So let’s see how each student is doing.
Field Trips will be less often as we add more subjects and other activities begin for the year, but this week was so much fun! How are you starting your school year?
