Encouraging The Stress-Free Homeschool Day

As you know, our family is part of University-model classical, Christian school that we co-founded. That means, we do school from home every other weekday. I recently had the opportunity to share with our families 10 tips that help me to have a more stress-free homeschool day.

There is no magic formula, perfect system, or simple solution to the challenges we face when teaching and working with our children, but these simple tips that I’m sharing over at The Better Mom today just might make a small difference in your homeschooling. I welcome you to join me there today!

Last Day of Kindergarten

Our Green Eggs and Ham

Number 2 ‘s kindergarten class has been reading Green Eggs and Ham. Our home assignment yesterday was to create his own recipe for green eggs and ham, eat it, then write about it!
He was thrilled with the cooking part…but all I can say is–there is a reason why God made us to repel foods that are not supposed to be green. (Think mold…)

But, who knows…maybe you need an idea for dinner tonight, so here you go:

{….mmmmm….}

{…..um, do I have to eat all of them?….}

We love our homeschool days.

The 2 Year Old Likes Phonograms Too!

Our oldest attends Oak Grove Classical Academy, where phonograms are taught using the Spell To Write and Read curriculum.  We homeschool three days a week, and review these phonograms using a cd.  Number 3 is always asking to do “a, A, ah.”

If you are local, and are interested in a classical, Christian, homeschool/traditional school education for your child, we are taking new registrations now for the 2009-2010 school year!
