Homeschool Memoirs:#9 Our Homeschool Family

THEME

This week’s theme is about your family. Don’t worry. I’m not going to make you write a long essay about all the great things your family does. Just something little diddy that I know everyone will have fun with!

Watch the youtube video below and then take this song and add your own words, about your family. The end of the first three lines should rhyme. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!


Okay I finally got this done, it sounds kind of stupid but, I did it anyway lol..This took alot of thought.

I also added the video because I have some readers that come to visit and thought it would be cute to have on my blog for them to listen to.


Lryics to “A Homeschool Family“

Some people say were strange
They think we lost our brains
Our neighbors think were looney
Our Homeschool Family

We drive a blue caravan
We learn about our Land
Our kids are in a band
Our homeschool family.

We learn about one another
And how to love our brother
Were encouraging each other
Our homeschool family.

(Thrifty)
(Nifty)
 (Gifty)

We give lots of love
and often lots of hugs
 we like to show our love
A Homeschool Family

Our daughter is a scientist
she wants to be a biologist
she knows more then all of us
 A homeschol family.

We like to learn about nature
and all about our Creator
It just in our nature

Homeschool Memoirs: #5 My Favorite Things


This week we are supposed to share some of our favorite things that encourage us and where we find support, I am most thankful for the support I receive at home, especially the support I get from my wonderful husband Wayne, he is a wonderful Godly Husband and Father and I am thankful each day that the Lord has blessed my life with him~I also love the fact that my children love homeschooling and how much fun it is to do things with them and how cool it is to see them learn.

A few magazines that I love to read are Christian Women Today  and Spirit Led Women
Heartlight and Heart of a Matter online.
A few moms places I really enjoy are Cafemoms, The Homeschool Lounge and Mammasource
Some of my favorite things to do is crocheting and knitting, I have my own blog on that and it is
just sharing some of the things that I have made. It is Rachelle's Knitting and Crochet Place
I also enjoy these crochet places as well....Knitting Daily and Crochet Patterns.
I would also like to share some of my favorite blogs I enjoy visiting, recently I have found some really cool Nature Blogs that I have really been visiting alot here are a few I found on Nature Studies..
Nature Notes from above ~ I discovered this site today and love it! And I have also discovered this site Handbook of Nature Study.
I enjoy reading these blogs also Pats Place, Peakmore Academy,
SeekingJesusnTeachingKIDS,Jilann,Breathsoffaith, and I have many more on my list of friends.

That's about it! I hope you find something interesting you can use.

Homeschool Memoirs: #4 Something New


Planning your homeschool is a lot of fun, especially if you’re going to be trying something new. Just like finding a shiny new penny you’re excited to use it. Mother Dear has been planning some new curriculum for us, and I am plenty excited to get started on it. This week I hope you’ll share something new you’re using, why you’ve decided to use it, and if you have used it how you like it. Make sure to include the publishing information and where you got it from so others can look into if they like.

Well, we were going to use K12 but it just doesn't work with our family so, we went back to the curriculum we have used before and it always works for us. We use School of Tomorrow and I am trying to also use lapbooking along with this as well as Teach Music and Art and add some Science Experiments to our Schooling. We also started doing Nature Walks each week. I am also looking into Lighthouse Christian Academy which they use the paces but, keep your childrens records. For more information on that I have included the link.
