Kiva pieni artikkeli meidän perheen kotikoulusta täällä.
Thanks for sharing! We are using more and More AOP materials and enjoying them. We haven't made the jump to everything on computer but I can see that move coming down the road. I appreciate you sharing about it and your family:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gayly!! It really has worked well for our older kids. And I LOVE how independently they get their school work done.
ReplyDeleteThere are times when I find homeschooling completely overwhelming and then the anxiety sinks in, 'Oh no! What have I done and how can I possibly give my child everything she needs to thrive?". We are in Western New York and I have been a certified teacher in Ontario and in New York State since the late 90's, have raised my 21 year old and my almost 17 year old 'senior' on both sides of the border and think I've done a pretty good job but I DO panic. Part of the problem is finding the funds to continue to offer our littlest one the opportunities she requires as a homeschooler.
ReplyDeleteI am a passionate writer, having nurtured my homeschooling blog (now two!) for over a year, write periodically on 3 other blogs (two for women, one for spirituality) and would love to one day, complete the passionate book I have started. This would indeed give us the funds and the freedom to continue our homeschooling adventures, right? Well it is much easier said than done as building a writing business is as slow as it takes for a snail to cross the road! Then I come across your blog, learn what you are doing while traveling and I am once again inspired - I CAN do this - we CAN do this can't we? Lâche-pas la patate!, as we say in French!
Thank you for your inspiration as we wind down from 3rd grade and head into 4th!
