Recipe for Success
It is also National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! So share a recipe…figuratively, as in two parts love, one part creativity, or literally, as in a super quick, nutritious meal your kids scarf up. Think about what you do in the day, what helps keep it organized and you sane (or how you got past that need for organization and saneness!), and curriculum materials you find effective.
My career as a homeschool mother has only just begun. This is what I have learned so far:
1. Keep lessons short.
2. Don’t let any curriculum be your master. Use it as a tool. It’s OK to get rid of it, even if it cost you $50.
3. A mother with a good attitude helps more than words can say!
(Don’t go thinking I am that mother - I am working on it every day, just like you)
4. Remember, you know your child better than anyone. Even better than the “experts”. Tailor lessons to develop their strengths and weaknesses.
5. Make sure kids get lots of time to play outside - no matter how old they are (that includes you mom).
That’s all I can think of for now.
One thing I am not doing very well and need to improve on is to have lesson planning time set aside.
Plans and preparedness help ease chaos and confusion!
Since it is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Here is an easy recipe for PB & J cookies (kind of weird - but not too bad)
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups bisquick (I like to have homemade bisquick on hand - click here for a recipe)
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and eat! No, just kidding...mind you, I actually do think this dough is rather tasty.
Shape into balls and place on cookie sheet. Press lightly to shape into a circle. Make a thumb print in the middle and fill with jelly (jam). You can also fill with jam after baking - that is good too.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes
This cookie dough can also be baked without the jam for 6-8 minutes, then press a Hershey’s kiss into the hot cookie after removing for the oven. Don’t make these if you are on a diet
