Online School and Courses

I am currently trying to put together a free curriculum that will be posted online.  I am also working on an online school with course offerings.  Some of these will be free of charge while others will cost a small fee.  I will keep everyone updated as I get this done.  In the meantime, check out my website at www.tchrmom.weebly.com.

Happy Learning!

Never give up...never surrender.

Many people may look at homeschooling as something that they "could never do".  Others that do it, may think they are always behind and need to make sure they are caught up to where they need to be.  This is where we were yesterday, until I pulled up the required standards for our state.  When I looked at everything, aside from a little bit of History and Science that we had to finish, we were actually above our state standards in everything.  So that AWFUL Algebra we were struggling to get...not necessary, because it isn't required for his grade level.  This isn't to say that we, as homeschoolers, should just do the minimum requirements as dictated by the state.  However, we shouldn't beat ourselves up thinking we aren't doing our jobs.  We in fact, are probably doing our jobs better than most and our children are WAY less stressed out than if they were sitting in a classroom.
     So, have a little faith in yourselves as "teachers" and never give up just because you are afraid you aren't getting it all in.  You really are giving your kids what they need as far as their education goes.  Have a little faith in yourselves.  If you still aren't cut out for it, fine.  Just don't sell yourselves short.

Happy Learning!

Algebra...not fun at all

So my oldest is starting Algebra this year and we are having a really tough time.  We are stuck on how exponents work in equations...sounds like loads of fun doesn't it?  It will get better and we will get through it.   Feel free to lend suggestions on how to make it easier!

Happy Learning,

Have fun learning!
