When Interest Led Homeschool Doesn't Work
If you ever listen to homeschooling parents the first thing they will tell you, including myself is homeschool is not public school at home. We hear that with homeschooling we can follow our child’s passions and the rest will fall into place. But what happens when your child doesn’t really have a particular interest or doesn’t like ”school” and you as the parent/teacher are running out of ways to make homeschooling not public school at home? |
How Technology Affects the Way We Teach Struggling Learners
Do you have a struggling reader, or do you suspect your child has dyslexia? That’s me! We will just say that he doesn’t fit the mold. He doesn’t learn like other kids do and guess what that’s okay. This is one of the reasons we homeschool. Also, I think that how technology is used today also plays a role in how kids learn. Let me tell you why, remember this is my opinion and my thoughts on the matter, if you don’t agree that’s fine. I am just trying to reach out to those who are at a standstill and are looking for ways to modify their current curriculum to fit the needs of their child. |
In My Opinion: A Book Review "3 Minute Devotions for Boys"
I have heard from parents on and off social media saying they read their children’s books before the kids read them. At first, I thought that was weird, I thought that it was a waste of time. Usually just browsing the book or even buying it because it says it aligns with your beliefs or morals would give you a clear indication if it was an appropriate book for children. Well not anymore, I praise those parents that take the time to screen books before letting their children read them. I ran into a book that I thought would be great because it was a “Christian” book and it would line up with my beliefs (I am a Christian too), I didn’t read through it first and just started reading it with my son. We were only reading it for a few days when I decided to stop reading it. |
