How
many years you have homeschooled-This is our 3rd year. I did homeschool
Michael the last 2 years.
What you love about homeschooling-Prior
to homeschooling, I worked a lot (nurse).I love having this extra
time with my boys! They are growing up fast! They loved all the extra
time with Mom! The boys loved getting finished with school
so quickly. I love being able to customize
their school to their learning style. Mostly I just loved having more
time with my boys and getting to know them better.
What you
hate about homeschooling-trying to motivate my boys on the subjects
they dislike. And feeling inadequate. Maybe I should have done something
differently?? I started kind of late in their education. They attended
AWS for many years!
Do you have a business or interest you delve
in on the side?-I am a Creative Memories consultant. I love teaching
others how to make their own memory (photo) albums. My boys love our
homeschool yearbook too!
Your pet's name or most interesting
animal you have ever owned?
Your favorite color-no one color,
I love yellow, green, pink, red, blue....
How would you describe
your homeschool style?traditional with math & language. We are
more flexible with history, science and bible.
Schedules - thumbs
up or thumbs down? I will let you know how this year goes. I haven't
used a schedule in the past, but think it is a good idea. (to help
us stayed focused and get more done in the day.)
