Home School Day 2


Easing into this seems to be the best thing to do. Really. Folks who have been doing this for a while, say get a rhythm. The rhythm around here is usually kept by little boys bouncing off the walls(notice the broken lamp on the left), so we are working on setting a new rhythm that includes lots of physical activity, while training little minds for great things.
I find this "Weird Unsocialized Homeschooler" (said with a smile) to be highly helpful in her methods & her extensive writing for other on-line publications(not sure whether it is a actual paper version or not..), proves others think so too. This particular entry is written in conjunction with 'Works for Me Wednesday', from We are THAT Family. I have also added a new button from Debbie Young where I found some printables for writing.
We're ready for the day, should I wake the boys or let them sleep?
It's that schedule question that gets me everytime! EEEK!

Oh, the dilemmas of a homeschooling mama! In our early days, I agonized over the schedule. But then the schedule evolved from the kids themselves. Now, they read until midnight or so, sleep late, then fly full-sped into a full day of learning what they want to learn.

I've had to learn to trust my kids. And trust my instincts.

You're going to love the life.
