Home education allows your children to be outside enjoying the sunny day while they do their lessons rather than doing their lessons at a desk in a stuffy classroom. Yesterday's weather was nice, so we gathered the lessons and went outside. Some of the kids decided to do their lessons in the tree.

One thing I enjoy about home education is that I get to learn with my children. I get to partake in the delight that they have while learning about various things. Recently my children and their friends picked an animal to give a small report on. We are reading a book and the character has...

Came across this article today, and was wondering what your take is on it. Seperate homeschool from family time. We have a relaxed approach, to educating our kids. I don't have school at home. I know that some families do have a classroom at home, and it works for them. I disagree with...

As I was driving home this morning I had to stop behind a school bus that was picking children up. There, next to the bus were the moms of some of the students, talking to their children that were on the bus. As the bus driver closed the door the moms stood wiping tears off their face and gave...

So what do you plan on using for this year? Is there still anyone left that still has someone in elementary? I know that we have had many graduates lately. This is what I have in mind for us. We really like the science curriculum put out by Answers in Genesis Learning Language Arts Through...

Hi all. I figured since leap day only happens every 4 years that tomorrow we are going to have a party. :Party: I am wondering if any of you can help me out with "leap" themed activities & lessons for tomorrow. Something other than :sheep: or :jump: I also want to teach why we have leap...

My daughter just finished the book Color Me Dark It is a book in the Dear America series. Have you ever heard of the Great Migration? Not only have I never heard of that, but I also had never heard of the Red Summer. Particularly the Chicago Riot of 1919 Well, I have never seen one...

Top reasons why it's great to be a homeschooled high schooler. Time to pursue the hobbies and talents you enjoy. Not dealing with cliques, popular crowds, and biased teachers- saving school time for learning, and afterschool time for whatever you want. School is done...

Yesterday and today the schools in my area have been closed because of the bitter cold weather that we are currently experienceing. Atleast my kids don't have to worry about getting hypothermia and/or frost bite from walking down the stairs to do their lessons.

I was thinking we should have a thread that we can discuss books, videos, resources, games, etc. that we have used in our homeschool experience. Many times my family is sent on a learning adventure that started from reading a story or watching a video. Also, as mothers and fathers, it is nice...

Awhile back I came across a site that would design a crossword or wordsearch for you. You just uploaded your spelling list and it put together the worksheet for you. I can't remember where I saw this and was wondering if you know what site I am talking about. Thanks, Karen
