Back to (Home)School Contest - How Will you Do It??
As 2dd15 was thinking of a prize for her contest, I kinda' stole her idea for the prize.... which is ok, because I gave her a really good one for hers! My contest is:
Post your plans for this school year-just a general idea, as elaborate or simple as you want to get- on your own blog. If you have already done a post about it, then you can take the shortcut and just post the link here in the comments.
**If you do not have a blog but would like to enter then let me know and you can post your entry on our Contest Blog and leave a link here!
I have dear friend who reads my blog, but does not have a blog, so I thought there may be others who read but don't blog... We want to know your plans, too!!
By plans, I mean: - What type of homeschooler are you?How do you homeschool? (Do you plan??)
- Are you using a specific curriculum or a conglomeration or none?
- Are you making it up yourself?
- Do you have a plan or just use ideas as you go?
- Do you homeschool in desks, at the table or anywhere it works??
- Tell me what you are excited about that you will be doing!
- Are you going to teach each child in their own grade level or do you multi-grade teach?
You don't have to answer each question; this is just an example of what I am looking for. I would love to hear imput and ideas, because I think we all love to read how others do it. We can encourage each other and "spur each other on" in homeschooling with our ideas.
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.
So, - post your homeschool plan info on your own blog, then
- leave me a comment with the link, so others can go and see all the wonderful ideas you have and also get to know you a little by visiting your blog!
- Come back and check out everyone else's ideas too.
I will end the contest in the next couple of weeks and get your goodies out to you! If you are a homeschooler, being homeschooled, tell me how your parents homeschool you. What is a typical day, what are most-remembered subjects or projects you have studied? What is your favorite subject? How many siblings do you have and do you homeschool together....
Utilizes 6 areas of responsibility: love, prayer, instruction, protection, provision, and example.Be brave! Use this checklist to help you: - Evaluate your obedience to God’s instructions for parents
- Pinpoint areas of weakness, sin, negligence, or laziness, with the intention of growing toward greater maturity.
- Memorize Scripture that will equip you for your job as parent.
- Discuss your relationship with your children.
- Explain your responsibility to your children.
- Pray for direction in your role as parent.
- Prepare your young adults for their future job as parents.

I think I can...I think I can...:)
What a great idea for a contest! I think I can...participate (I'm an only-in-the-mood kind of planner) :). I shall be back later when I post my entry on my blog.
P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind words! By the way, that winning word was from my dear husband, not me. I enjoy visiting your blog. I'll be back.
Oh, hey there
I found you off your daughter's blog. She is really a character, huh? and so is the OTHER! Probably too much for her own good. I hope her husband likes a good laugh. She will be a big blessing someday!
Mom is getting ready for our school and boy! I'm ready! I think this year will be great. I'm really excited! I will tell her about your dixcount! What a great deal, huh?
Olo

Greetings! I linkety-linked my way over to your blog via another blog I was reading. We haven't started "officially" homeschooling yet, although children, as we know don't need anything formal to learn. I recently posted what I will be using as my curriculum so I thought I would enter that post. Many blessings!

This is a great idea!
You know this was a really great idea, because I have wondered about how others homeschool and this is a great way to actually get them to post about it. Well it got me to post my answers anyway!
Curious to read the other posts!

after reading my blog, so here is my link-homeschoolblogger.com/byourlove1. We do have a little schoolroom, I hoping to post pictures soon-we do most of school there but we do read alouds in the living room and my boys room at night, we usually do Bible at the kitchen table. I follow the curr mostly unless I get a great idea from bloggers like you.
Thanks

I did post our plans for this school year already. We love learning via literature, so I think we're kind of CHarlotte Mason. It's my bent, although I don't follow it as well as I could. We are using Tapestry of Grace (loosely) for our multi-level curriculum.
