Learning - the KONOS way!

I gotta tell ya, we really, truly love using KONOS as our curriculum.  Who knew that learning could be SO MUCH FUN?!  I've posted several times in the past about things we've done w/Konos.  Below you'll find quick access to some of my previous entries, if you're interested in learning more about Konos.  Or, you can visit the Konos website at www.Konos.com.  You can also find out more at www.HomeschoolMentor.com, which is the site of the online Konos co-op.

At the Homeschool Mentor website, you can receive a whole week of free lesson plans and watch a series of videos about how to use Konos.  The instructor is Mrs. Jessica Hulcy, co-author of the Konos curriculum, and she is FABULOUS.  She literally takes you by the hand and guides you through the how-to's of homeschooling the Konos way.  This is our second semester using the virtual co-op, which is wonderful since we do not have a local Konos group.  It's only $30 a month, but the instruction from Mrs. Jessica as well as the encouragement and comraderie among the members of the e-loop is, well, priceless.

I would highly recommend paying a visit to the Homeschool Mentor Website and checking it out for yourself.  Even if you've already got your curriculum for this semester, you've really got to take a look at what Konos has to offer.  Trust me, this is learning in a whole different way than anything I had ever imagined.  And with Mrs. Jessica putting together the lesson plans and showing us on video how to use them every week, it really takes almost all of the work out of it for us moms.  All I have to do is watch the videos and take a few notes, gather the books and supplies we'll need for the week, and the rest is just a matter of doing what is on the schedule for each day.  It is totally, completely, without a doubt - wonderful.

Am I getting gushy here???  Can you tell I am passionate about this curriculum?  I am!  And the more important part is - SO ARE MY KIDS!    They love learning the Konos way!
