From the Learning Rooms

From the learning rooms...
Preparing for homeschooling next week with the Organized Mom Superset I bought a few years ago - still a great tool! I have also been listening to the Ultimate Homeschool Back to School Blast on my MP3 player as I walk 3 miles waiting fot cross country to be over with.  I have been re-inspired and have learned a lot too!
Years ago, when I first started homeschooling, I was inspired by the The Prairie Primer: Literature Based Unit Studies Utilizing the "Little House" Series.  I thought how wonderful it would be to go through the Little House books and learn about homesteading and sewing and making butter and all of those kinds of things.  But after having four little boys, I put that to the back of my mind.  A few weeks ago I saw the Primer again and I ordered it.  It's for grades 3-6 and Rosie and Izzy aregrades 1 and 7! but if I ease back on some things and make other things a bit more challenging I think it will work for us!  We'll see.

Today was kind of a crappy first day - I had to stop school early to get Rosetta Stone up and running again.  Hopefully with a new headset and the right settings, we won't have a problem tomorrow.
