Since I’ve been busy with school preparations, I thought I would share with you a Roundup of Home Education links I found interesting while doing some research recently.
As a Momma of a boy, I remember what it was like trying to get Jamie interested in learning something. Sometimes games were a hit while some were a bust. Sheila from Brain Power Boy shared seven games that boys should like.
Samantha from Le Chaim on the Right is my kind of teenager – a history nerd! She is a homeschool blogger and has quite a stand when it comes to politics – she doesn’t back down for what she believes in. Samantha shares 100+ Historical Books with a review. Part two of the list can be found HERE.
I’ll never forget a time when I “dog- eared” a page in a book, when Jamie was in preschool. He just about had a fit, because his teacher had taught her class that books were special and needed to be cared for. Anna from Path Through the Narrow Gate shares how she created some of the cutest corner bookmarks.
Manners – every child needs to learn them if not, you'll be one of those parents who will want to crawl in a hole when you're embarrassed at a child's behavior. Alecia from Learning 2 Walk shares three very important words/phrases our children need to learn the moment they can talk.
While a quality academic education is a must, my top priority in teaching my son at home was for him to be the right kind of Christian God wants for him. No one else is going to train our children to love and live for the Lord, like us parents. Lindsey from the Road to 31 shares her heart about the importance of discipling our children.
Are you in the planning stages of your school year, or are you waiting as long as you can before starting? :)
Lori, I am so relieved! I thought my family was maybe the only family in the world that was starting home school again in July. Last year was so hectic, though, that I decided that we needed to get an early start this year to give ourselves a little more "breathing" space during the school year. Thanks again for sharing the Nibblin' Monsters Bookmarks. May God bless you and your family!
