Curriculum Ideas Take
a Break! By Wendy Toy
Breaks are an important part of life and vital in homeschooling. They can be
spontaneous, like our boat ride, but sometimes, especially if you like to have
a school routine or keep a schedule, you may need to plan them.

Uses for a Humble Jug of Vinegar
Let your child guide you through this lesson. Do they want to try some of these
natural remedies? Do they want to cook or clean? Take a few days and try a few
things. Perhaps a challenge to see how many uses on this list they can
do.
Homeschool Socialization The
Truth About Homeschooling and Socialization It's
time for homeschoolers
to tell the truth about "socialization." It is a problem!
The phone never stops ringing, the teenager's email has
crashed the computer, and the front yard is patches of
dandelions
and dirt because there are always kids out there socializing!

Homogeneous Trinity I had ambitious

September and work through pre-algebra by January -- for second
grade. However, my daughter's personality collided with my plans.

SPELLING LESSONS
My
son was doing poorly with his advanced second-grade
spelling words. We couldn't change programs and
I was afraid he would fail, especially since he
had a lot of book work that he hated doing. One
day, a thought popped into my head. Why couldn't
he take quizzes on the refrigerator using magnetic
letters to prepare for his written test? And maybe
add extra spelling practice there, too?
I went
to our local supply store and bought a set of letters
to give it a try.
The
first day we had an instant victory. He spent an
entire hour without complaint working on each word
until he got it right. A whole hour! When his quiz
came, his grades dramatically improved and stayed
that way the rest of the year. Brandy
