Why I'm Sending My Child to Summer Camp

​We’re nearing the end of our second year homeschooling, and I’ve decided to put my son in summer camp.  Some homeschoolers continue throughout the summer either full steam or at a lighter pace.  I think that’s great if it works for the parent and the child.  However, I also consider taking a leisurely break from school and from each other to have its merits too.

Field Trips are so Fun(ny)!

No long post today, just wanted to share a funny experience.  This week we went to see a ballet in our local area.  Can I just stop right here and say how grateful I am for homeschooling co-ops?  Just for the simple fact that I wouldn’t know about some of these things going on, and probably wouldn’t go if it wasn’t for them.  I thoroughly enjoyed the talent that was on display (and I think Dee did too, even though he complained about the absence of dialogue), but what really got my attention was what was going on around me with the groups of school children that were also attending.

This week’s Homeschooling Heroes are very much like another group highlighted not long ago, the Jonas brothers.  This group of brothers has a totally different story however.  What they do have in common, unlike a lot of musicians that left school because of fame, is that they were homeschooled from the beginning.  Read on to learn about the Hanson Brothers.

Last week a group of Homeschooling Heroes got the awesome opportunity to attend Collision, a global meeting of 16 different tech conferences rolled into three days in New Orleans, LA.  Even for the youngest, it was an opportunity to see what possibilities are being imagined, innovated, created, and brought to the marketplace.  There were hundreds of Alpha, Beta, and Growth phase startups presenting their ideas to investors and technology enthusiasts.  This past week I’ve been combing through them to pull out the ones I thought would be most interesting for homeschooling families.  Read on to check them out!

​There are a lot of famous musicians that were homeschooled, but the most famous one is, without a doubt, Taylor Swift.  No matter how she's changed or what people may think of her now from all of the, sometimes negative, tabloid media, Taylor's story is amazing in how determined she was to pursue her dreams at such a young age.   Read on to learn more about her humble beginnings before superstardom and the role that homeschooling played.

Summer Reading Programs for Homeschoolers

Oh, Summer.  I’m so glad you’re almost here!  During my childhood in Northeast Ohio summer meant sitting along Copley Road for the West Akron parade, walking to Mr. Pantries for Jo-Jos and candy, and weekly trips to the library to turn in our book list for the summer reading program.  I was an avid reader and loved the independence I felt leading my brother and sisters down to the library to get more books. Now I enjoy taking my son, and I’m glad he’s finally caught a passion for reading just like I did.  As a homeschooler, I’m excited to see what programs are now available to win rewards and prizes.  I’m sure the lure of free stuff will motivate Dee to read even more. ​
