Let's create and learn!

New Homeschool Category

7/24/2018

Hey there! I hope your summer has been fun with family and friends. I'm excited to share a new Homeschool Category for those parents that are interested or already committed to homeschooling. My goal is to share tips, books, activities, links and ideas that I've learned along this new journey of homeschooling. I'm a newbie to this journey and have so much to learn but hope to share any tips along the way that has been helpful. I can tell you that there are times when it's difficult (where I want to throw in the towel) and times when it's fun. When I am challenged, overwhelmed and scared, I try to remind myself the why's of why we have chosen this path for our children's education and I also read (online) experiences of veteran homeschoolers if I am not able to connect with the homeschooling moms I know and are meeting.

We are fortunate to live during a time where information is available even though all the available information can be daunting. Therefore, I hope that the information that I share with you will help to encourage you along your own journey. Also, the activities and art resources that I've created are great to use during your own home education day if you're interested in creative art activities and printables. Just remember that your choices will be what's best for your children/family and try to lean on God during those difficult days of resistance, challenging attitudes and tears (sometimes mom tears and not just the kids:-/). The one thing I've learned so far during those difficult periods of educating my children, is that in my weaknesses, God equips me and teaches me to let go of perfectionism and trust Him to guide me. Still working on this...with this said, hope you will find a good rhythm to your home education.

Teaching From Rest by Sarah Mackenzie is a great book to read to glean insight on learning to trust God during our homeschooling journey. She is honest and has a genuine approach to sharing her own journey. I'm currently reading this again.

HSDLA: Homeschooling Advocates is a great website that offers legal and practical advice regarding homeschooling. 

Sonlight: I used the preschool and preK curriculum and loved the simple approach to nurturing reading. You will be reading a lot to your child and the selection of books are wonderful. I'll be using the Language Arts for First grade this upcoming school year and praying both kids will be receptive.

Horizons Math: I have used the colorful math workbooks and my oldest enjoys it whereas my youngest has been a bit resistant. We will see.
