Homeschool

19 Oct

The one response I get EVERY SINGLE TIME from people when asked about homeschooling is: “I couldn’t never do that. I don’t have the patience.” Each time, I want to respond “Um…  Have we met?!” If you know me at all, you will know that I am probably the least patient person on the planet. So yes, homeschooling is a constant challenge to me because of this. But, because of the incredible benefits of homeschooling, I am always looking for ways to create a stress-free homeschool day. Stress management is super important for me. I have a pretty intense job as a nurse. I work 12...

It's been kind of crazy lately, hasn't it? With all of the changes and challenges we've had recently, I've been wanting to reach out to you, the hesitant, unprepared, or reluctant Homeschooling Mom. Maybe you were forced into homeschooling by the pandemic, maybe you've chosen homeschooling for other reasons, believing it to be the best choice for their families. I'm talking to you today. One of the best things I've seen emerge from this time of stress and uncertainty is a massive, brave, emerging group of proactive parents that are turning to homeschooling. In the past few...

I knew before we started homeschooling that there would be challenges.   Knowing myself and my children, I even knew what our biggest challenges would be!  Sure enough, I have not been disappointed… Why Did We Originally Consider Homeschooling? One thing that originally really compelled me to consider homeschooling was observing my son in his preschool environment.  While the rest of the kids would sit quietly, cross-legged in a circle listening to a story, he would be jumping up and down in the background, listening in his own way.  It was a loving and accepting school with very small class sizes, so the fact that my...

In our family, essential oils are a part of our everyday lives. We use them for everything imaginable, so it only made sense that when we started to homeschool that we would learn how to use essential oils for school work. At the time, I knew very little about essential oils and their many benefits, so I simply began diffusing essential oils while we homeschooled because they smelled wonderful. We would get up and as we ate breakfast, I would diffuse the awakening and invigorating scents of Lemon and Peppermint. It is pretty much impossible to be in a bad mood when...

Every once in a while, in our homeschool, I've noticed a recurring subject. Recently it's been the compass. It has come up in our history lessons, geography lessons, and science lessons. I love when it all comes together and the children make real connections between it all. To make the subject more alive, we decided to learn how to make a compass with simple household items. We started off by a fun little experiment with our magnets. Clark and Luci both assembled a few common household items that they thought would attract the magnets. They were surprised to find  what was drawn...

If I would have fully understood what was involved in homeschool, I would guess that would have never undertaken it. I had not idea how incredible the task was. Since I began in ignorant bliss, I knew I had a lot to learn. I made it my responsibility to research as much as I could about the different philosophies of education, curriculum, styles, etc. Almost immediately, I was enamored with the Charlotte Mason approach. I began to look deeper into this philosophy. I was referred to For The Children's Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School by Susan...
