I know that you want a list of books -that is what I wanted. You have these little people (or big teens) looking at you. You are now homeschooling. What do you DO? They are waiting… what do I DO!?

I enjoy trying. I decided that using only our own photos would help demonstrate the purpose of this blog – to show things in reality, as they … Continue reading A Note About Our Photos
As I was reading through the introduction section for a particular math curriculum, I kept running across this heading, “Teacher support in preparation for year …”. I looked at these pages and found for each year there was a re-cap of the previous year and helpful instructions and notes for how to prepare and teach the upcoming year. Not really anything new for a curriculum, … Continue reading Teacher Support in Preparation for Your Year…
