Children's ages and names (if you feel comfortable) - Brian-14
1/2 and Matthew-8
How many years you have homeschooled - This is our
10th year.
What you love about homeschooling - I love having
the children with me, I especially enjoy it when my husband can be
with us. I also enjoy learning new things with the boys.
What
you hate about homeschooling - Well, it's really more of a parenting
issue. Those
days when a child constantly tests the limits and challanges
you. Because we homeschool and always have the children there, sometimes
it seems those difficult days (or months;-)) will never end.
Do
you have a business or interest you delve in on the side? - Yes, I
work one to three days a week in the Emergency Room at East Ridge
Hospital. I work my schedule around Tim's work days so one of us can
always be home with the boys.
Your pet's name or most interesting
animal you have ever owned? - We have one dog, Sam. Matthew got an
aquarium for his birthday last month. He has 18 adult tropical fish
and two baby Mollies born Friday AM. This week he wants to add 2 catfish
and an algie eater. It's been a great science unit study-he's even
learned to check and adjust the PH of the water. Both boys have enjoyed
watching for the baby Mollies to be born.
Your favorite color
- Pink
How would you describe your homeschool style? - Very
relaxed in the early years, pretty traditional by high school.
Schedules
- thumbs up or thumbs down? - We have a very flexible schedule.
