i'm always intrigued with what others feel they absolutely have to have for any given task, and homeschooling is no different! there are so many MANY cool-beans devices, gadgets, books, study guides, hardware, software, where oh where, that it's almost overwhelming! so, if I myself had to be stripped down to bare bones essentials, these are my choices for what I consider Homeschool Essentials -kids (okay, sorry) -The Bible because what would any homeschool be without this ESSENTIAL foundation? -internet capeable computer with printer (AND ink i do SO much for school online...get great freebie printables, purchase materials, read blogs for ideas, get reviews, there are even things online for the kids to use. In this terrific day and age, i feel the computer is essential to homeschooling! (not to mention the capeability to renew those library books at the last minute -a decent public library system okay, i probably would BUY every book i have ever read if i was related to Trump, but alas, i am not...so a really good library system is a MUST for my family as we prefer "real books" and LOVE fiction, information, and my 7 yr old really thinks he's boss 'cause he has a card -a willing heart i know i have posted about it before, but when we first heard about homeschooling i laughed and said "NEVER!"...i have since learned to never use the word "never" when it comes to what God may have for you to accomplish in your life. God brought me, kicking and screaming at times, to this place where i would probably not ever consider using a public or private school again. Only with a willing heart, a heart willing not only to obey God's leading but also that of my hubbyman, are we where we are now. we are far from the "picture perfect" HSLDA family -a good homeschool support system (outside of spouse support) one thing i know i am lacking is a good church-based support system. I think, for our family, this can be an "essential"...we just joined a nice small co-op and that's great. I have alot of online support and that's great too. But i miss being in a good church home with a good base of homeschoolers to have for support and encouragement. The Lord will lead there also, I know. everything else is gravy as far as I'm concerned how about you? what are your 5 Homeschool Essentials? I invite you to post yours on your blog and please post a link here in my comment section! i LOVE to see what others have said Blessed Sabbath and happy weekend! |
