Expedition Homeschool: Back to Basics
http://expeditionhomeschool.blogspot.com/2015/07/back-to-basics.html
Friday, 24 July 2015. When we think about what our children. Need to know to grow into well adjusted, functioning adults,. We think of not only their education but their life skills. When it comes to cooking, the skills we pass on as generations pass, involve learning to use more and more gadgets. Our recipes change to reflect this too. What happens when our children leave home? It's for this reason, that I want my son to learn 'Back to Basics'. Skills will never 'go out of style' or not be useful. So wh...

Friday, 22 May 2015. Beware of HPBA (Homeschooling Parent Book Addiction). What do you get when you cross a Homeschooling Parent with someone who is OCD and who has a love of reading? What you get, is. HPBA - Homeschooling Parent Book Addiction. I have always loved a good collection, I have always loved to read. But up until I started homeschooling my child, I never mixed the two. Now, well I confess, I am addicted to books! You can never really get enough .can you? I am told I am not alone in this, most...

Expedition Homeschool: Why I Don't Want to Convert Everyone I Meet to Become a Homeschooler.
http://expeditionhomeschool.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-i-dont-want-to-convert-everyone-i.html
Friday, 3 July 2015. Why I Don't Want to Convert Everyone I Meet to Become a Homeschooler. I really do not want everyone to homeschool. Not because I don't believe in it - I do, it's the best thing we ever decided to do! Not because I don't think you are capable - you are, even if you don't realise it. My reasons are varied and possibly even a little selfish. I'm glad they go to school and I'm glad mine doesn't! I've been asked why I would bother 'spreading the word' about homeschooling to others, if not...

Expedition Homeschool: Embracing Surrealism with Pancakes!
http://expeditionhomeschool.blogspot.com/2015/07/embracing-surrealism-with-pancakes.html
Wednesday, 8 July 2015. Embracing Surrealism with Pancakes! They say Homeschooling Parents can find an educational angle in anything their child does. My son has been participating in an Art Class this past term and the topic all term has been Surrealism. Each week they'd learn about different styles and techniques and really got the kids to look outside the conventional norm when it came to art. So can you see what he saw? Can you guess what he came up with? A meteor burning up as it approaches the earth.

Monday, 15 June 2015. Busier than ever - Homeschooling Life is FULL! This term has been our busiest yet. It's been our most social. It's been our most structured AND unstructured term in 4 years. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to sit for 5 minutes and write on this blog. This term I relied heavily on daily appointment schedules, phone alarms, lists, lists and more lists, and more planners and schedules! Not for lessons though. I am happy to say this term it was all about being social! Every wee...

Expedition Homeschool: Week 1 Making Sessions: Building a Toolbox
http://expeditionhomeschool.blogspot.com/2015/06/week-1-making-sessions-building-toolbox.html
Tuesday, 2 June 2015. Week 1 Making Sessions: Building a Toolbox. This morning we went to our local hardware store (Bunnings) with a group of other homeschooling families. Usually there are craft activites and to be honest, it doesn't excite my boy at all. He isn't a crafty type. But today was not craft. The kids got to make a toolbox and paint it to take home. Then they got to take home the hammer they used during the construction and a homework project as well! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our h...
