Busy week already!

Look at what Annie has been learning this week in math!

She's been reviewing tally marks.

She's been using the geoboard to make different quadrilaterals.

She's been learning about aba, abba, aabb patterns using colored tiles.

She's been keeping herself busy with a little numbers game I printed off for her. She counts the bats and puts a clothespin on the correct number of bats. A cute Halloween activity! We also taped it up high so Maggie can't get to it. Annie just pulls her little stool up to the door when she's doing the activity.

Our Homeschooling Journey

Homeschooling my children just makes sense and feels right for our family. As parents we already do this! For most of us, we are already teaching and engaging our children every moment we are with them. This is a completely natural step for my family. We are thrilled to begin a more "structured" schedule, although we will never be so uptight about it. I think that's part of the glory of homeschooling. You feel out your children and go at a pace/schedule that's a good fit. We are just beginning this journey. I want to document the wonderful parts of homeschooling and the "real" parts. There will be days that just don't happen according to plan. I hold a teaching certificate and was a former teacher in the public school system. As soon as we started a family I knew I would homeschool. This blog will help document our plans so I can look back through the years to see what I did, as well as serve as a hangout for those of you who homeschool or are thinking about it. We will not have everything down perfectly (ever!) but hopefully it can help inspire you and give you some leads on where to begin. Although we have chosen a classical education approach to homeschooling, there are several methods and resources that are valuable and could be a good fit for your family. I encourage you to explore and ignite that fire!
