Homeschool

20 Nov

I love, love, love that as a homeschooling Mom, I can teach my children all about their bodies in a fun and natural way.  With me, they are able to learn exactly what they need to know in an appropriate and controlled way, leaving their incredibly curious minds completely satisfied. My experience in public school with anything health and body-related was unenlightening, to say the least.  Teachers were embarrassed and hesitant to speak frankly. Their awkwardness affected the subject matter and the students, making the entire subject a dreaded one. I remember thinking even back then: “I will NEVER make this very normal...

We have been studying the classic children’s book, Madeline, which served as an introduction to a series I wanted to do with the children on Health and Wellness. As a nurse, I am constantly teaching my patients about the importance of handwashing as a first line of defense against disease and dirt.  Of course this is also something that I taught my children as they were being potty-trained.  They began with perfect form – I was so proud of them!  But as the novelty of being allowed to “play” in the water wears off, so did the perfect form.  So I decided to...

“In an old house in Paris that was covered with vinesLived twelve little girls in two straight linesIn two straight lines they broke their breadAnd brushed their teeth and went to bed.They left the house at half past nineIn two straight lines in rain or shine-The smallest one was Madeline.” Our next Five in a Row study is Madeline. I've been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks now because we have some fun activities planned! Book Review This is such a cute book. From the first few lines, the children were captivated with the story. It's the story...

The morning after I officially pulled Luci out of her Mother’s Day Out program, she burst into our bedroom at 6 am, all excited, squealing:  “Am I going to school today, Mommy?  I need to get ready!”  My stomach just lurched and the second-guessing started.  All day I questioned my decision. Was this a selfish decision?  Is this in Luci’s best interest?  I struggled for several days with these thoughts until I took a moment to snatch some pictures of Clark and Luci playing together outside.  They were have a great time bouncing on balls, squealing and laughing, falling...

When it comes to opinions about homeschooling, I think I've probably come a long way in a short time.  Less than one year ago, I was just like the majority of tax-paying parents. My (small-minded) thought was that homeschoolers were either crazy, "crunchy" hippies, and or religious fanatics. I could not understand why someone would choose to homeschool when you were paying school taxes - especially when you live in a top-rated school district.  So what changed? What made us decide to homeschool? I Was Starting to Get Worried With approximately one year until my first child started Kindergarten,...

Luci has been waiting with great excitement to start back to her little Mother’s Day Out program this year.  She is going to be going two days a week.  For the first time, Clark will be staying home, homeschooling, and Luci will be going to school. I think it was a little surprising to her that Clark was not accompanying her this year, but she put on her game face. This year, she actually ended up with the same teacher, in the same room as last year.  I’m hoping this stability will help my sweet little girl become a little more familiar and relaxed in...
