Recess

thoughts from my homeschool

29 Sep

20100113_1816
When I was a child, my favorite portion of the day was not recess.  It was, instead, reading.  I would have preferred to stay in the school library than go out to the playground where other girls skillfully jump-roped while I pretended to perpetually tie my shoe.  What I loved most about recess was hearing the bell sound for school to begin again.   

Now that I’m a homeschooling mom, recess is my favorite ‘subject’.  Although it’s good enough to let the kids stretch, visit, and soak in Vitamin D, we’ll often linger outside, so I’ll mix a little bit of nature study or biology class or p.e. class into it.  As the Co-Chief in Charge of All Familial Things, I can make recess what I want:  always fun, always an adventure, and never ever including jump rope.  The photo above is of our children enjoying recess the way we like to enjoy it.

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
