Homeschool

02 Sep

When I started homeschooling, almost a decade ago, I had not thought out the entire process. There were a few reasons that I was initially thinking to experiment for a year or two. My plan was just to "see how things go." I certainly had not thought beyond the elementary grades! Middle school and high school were a distant vague worry. But now, as we move into these upper grades, I am finding that worry was unfounded. I am finding as much joy and enjoyment as I did with the elementary grades. Here...

Now-a-days, we have commercialized scissor cases, but back in Charlotte Mason's day, children were perhaps responsible for creating their own pencil cases and scissor cases to take to school.

It can also be a lesson in being safe...

Mental health was never a big concern for me until the pandemic hit. Along with the lockdowns came the suspending of Homeschool Co-ops, friends and family isolating, sports and club closures, even parks and public libraries were off limits! I suddenly found myself at home with my two children who were used to a variety of activities every day - and the idea of an indefinite lockdown was not going over well. It wasn't until I discovered how to use creativity as a wellness practice in the homeschool that we began to see a way past the...
