... Back to (Home)School Contest Entry! ...

Jacque has asked the following questions on her blog for her contest and I thought I'd enter ... my answers are below! The prize looks great ... you should enter!!

 

The prize will be a back-to-school package, including several goodies:

  • 5- 70 sheet spiral-bound notebooks
  • 5- 2-pocket folders
  • 10 ct. #2 pencils
  • 5 mechanical pencils
  • pkg. 12 colored pencils
  • 2-pk. pink erasers
  • 4- washable gluesticks
  • 2- double pencil sharpeners
I am also throwing in a copy of Doorposts Checklist For Parents...available through SoulRestES.

 
  • What type of homeschooler are you? How do you homeschool? (Do you plan??)

    I am a planner, but my plans usually look better on paper and we never seem to accomplish it all - LOL! However, if I do not write a schedule down, then we don't cover as much, so it's best for us to have a plan.

     

  • Are you using a specific curriculum or a conglomeration or none?

    Definitely a mix of curriculum (see sidebar and note the blog name ... "eclectic!")

     

  • Are you making it up yourself?

    Well, yes, for some classes. For example, for our homemaking/life skills course, I chose books to use and just mapped out when to cover what.

     

  • Do you have a plan or just use ideas as you go?

    BOTH! If something new strikes me, I'm game to try it!

     

  • Do you homeschool in desks, at the table or anywhere it works??

    My son likes to do his work at the craft table or on the living room couch. My daughter does her work in her room.

     

  • Tell me what you are excited about that you will be doing!

    I am most excited about our homemaking/life skills and Bible study

     

  • Are you going to teach each child in their own grade level or do you multi-grade teach?

    I adjust the teaching to the child's ability ... if they can tackle higher level work, great. If they need to be held back, that's fine, too!

     

    Well, that's a little peek into how we homeschool in our home!
