With all that said, Here we go…… I figured with my contest, we can all get to know each other a little better. At least on the homeschooling front.
1. How many children do you have / homeschool? 3 but only Homeschool one (2 little ones under feet)
2. How long have you been homeschooling? 2 months
3. Have they always been homeschooled, or did they ever go to public/private school? Home schooled
4. Do you plan on homeschooling until graduation? yes
5. Do you belong to a co-op? no
6. Do you school all year long, or use some other schedule? I think we will school all year, learing is a never ending journey. Why stop for the summer. We have breaks but even then you will still learn.
7. Do you use textbooks only, or do you like to supplement with other materials? We have text books but also use computer, outdoors any any other eara that will allow us to learn something.
8. Are field trips included in your school plans, or are they just family time? Since our children are very small it’s almost mandatory that Daddy go with us on any adventures. But we do visit the park and walmart w/out Daddy and Heaven knows that’s always an adventure.
9. Do you and your kids do crafty stuff together for school time? Oh yes crafty stuff is our favorite time. The children 4yr old and 2yr old and I are working on a Nativity lap book plus other Christmas crafts in preprations for the celebration of the birth of Christ.
10. Would you consider everyday household life stuff ‘home ec’? Well it depends what it is, I believe it’s important for the children to learn responsilitities, and that with out “Team Mikulcik” our home isn’t the way we like it. It takes everyone to keep stuff tidy and neat. When they are older they will be taught to sew, fix minor repairs etc.
11.Do you have any advice for new homeschoolers? Have a sence of humor stuff doesn’t always go the way you think it sould
12. Do you have advice for homeschoolers with little ones under foot? It will get easier, I hope.
ok there are my answers what do you think?
