Hello my name is Jenine, welcome to our blog about our homeschooling experiences in Maine. We have started this blog to share and gain feedback from other parents who also dare to teach complex information to young minds in little constantly moving bodies.
- Our First Year "officially homeschooling", although last year we did a very relaxed practice version, (for our benefit as well as theirs). To be certain homeschooling works best for our family, and it does for sure.We are looking forward to meeting up with other families if we ever find the local group we heard was in our area, we will make more of an effort in. We are now in the process of cleaning out last years mess and adding some new bookcases and desks. Just waiting on free time and a nice day to take it all out to the deck and put it all back several time till it works. Go go teenage boys! We will Blog later this summer about curriculum choices and upcoming plans for this year, as well as post new pics of the classroom and all it's changes.
Things were going to make, because we love how well they work;
Signing in: Last year we made our own Name Writing practice work using a yellow highlighter and a copy machine, which copies the yellow to a soft gray. Perfect for tracing their names to sign in. We always turn it over to draw a face progressing to a person on the back, looking to each other to remember not to forget any features. This year we would like to add our last name too, also take a min so the kids can describe these created characters which we will write for them. This is a quick signing in, done first thing. I would like to make a few months worth for each kid. I would like to use this same idea for numbers 0-9 (maybe four rows horizontally that could be cut into strips, using 1 per day).
Thanks for stopping in please come again, have a great day!
Your friends at the Summit Street Schoolhouse.
