homeschooling

Part of our homeschooling is trying to pass along our values. With the boys being little I try to keep it simple. Today the value was caring for others. In this case, the others were the birds of the back yard. I had the boys fill a small plastic cup with seeds and dried fruit. They pushed a...

I have a 7 year old daughter in 2nd grade in public school. I want to start homeschooling her next year, but have no idea where to start. does anyone here homeschool their child or children and have any advice or information that could help? we live in North Carolina and have read the laws...

~ I thought there was a separate area for Homeschooling, but I can't find it... I am trying to get all my chicks in a row and coming up with a backup plan in the event Diva doesn't get in to the specialty school for grades 6-12 (starting Sept 2012). In the event we can't convince the town of...

...your kids? Want to share your thoughts on it? I homeschooled my kids for three years, but was forced to stop for a while due to health reasons. In the meantime my kids went to a private school. Well, we have decided that we can no longer afford the private school as they go up every year for...

I understand that the preschool years are all about learning through play & experience, etc....and that's what I was prepared for with my 4 y.o. I do not want to start any structured curriculum with him, and I usually put a puzzle or other small quiet activity in his workboxes that he works on...

My oldest daughter is in ninth grade . She has a health issue called Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia,what it is , is that her body produces massive amounts of adreniline and it makes her heart beat very fast all the time. A normal heartrate for her is well over 150 at rest and it skyrockets to...

....I cringe at labeling my child, but I'm beginning to think my youngest may have some ADHD tendencies (I was diagnosed in college and put on Ritalin, something I will NEVER do to my children). However, he is so different from my oldest and I'm going to have to have a few tricks up my sleeve...

I am homeschooling my 16 yr old daughter this year for the first time. I have thought about doing this years ago but have always been working and never found the time or thought I couldn't do it. However this year we moved from Mississippi to Alabama. Upon moving here we found out that the...

I tried posting a similiar thread in another forum, but I don't think that page is as viewed as this one!!! So, anyway, I am going to try homeschooling my ds for preschool!! He really wants to go to school, and isn't quite old enough yet!! He will be 3 in about two weeks, he just wants to...

My question is this, what are some of the websites or teaching aids you use to teach your child(ren). My ds is going to be 3 in about 2 weeks, he wants to go to school so bad, so I have deceided to homeschool him some preschool material!! I am hoping that if I can get him to a kindergarten...

I just received the letter from my school district telling me the IHIPs (individualized home instruction plans that our state requires) for the kids are in compliance with the regulations. That was the next hurdle. Now I can relax a bit, at least until it's time to send in the first quarterly...

We will be moving within the next 6 months so ds will have to go to a new school in the middle of the year. When we moved here almost 2 years ago he had a lot of problems and that was with him starting at the beginning of the school year. I don't want to go through that again. So, I am...

In response to one of the previous threads I though I would give me two cents worth...... We haven't belonged to a homeschool group for years and years... (I have been homeschooling for 12 years now!!!). I think divisions and differences are normal in many group situations and not unique to...
