Especially when a student leaves PS, she needs to de-school, so to speak. Allow her to pursue her interests for a time and fuel those interests with great books and videos from the library, plus google for hands-on activities & experiments to go alongside!<br /><br />Best wishes!Laura Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647042898235118427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391563092135742010.post-20256975106517320942011-04-30T12:14:40.589-04:002011-04-30T12:14:40.589-04:00We've been homeschooling 5 months now and have...We've been homeschooling 5 months now and have spent only $30 [math workbooks]. Mostly we use our library and explore topics the girls want to learn about. I'd also check out this blog post for some more ideas: http://www.holyspiritledhomeschooling.net/2010/07/2010-2011-free-or-nearly-free.htmlBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524820435515551056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391563092135742010.post-28836645623722056292011-04-29T23:03:19.624-04:002011-04-29T23:03:19.624-04:00Yup!

I'm about 40 minutes east of the Roch-cha-cha (as everyone like to call Rochester around here - lol), and Strong Museum is AWESOME!<br /><br />The biggest issue with dad is, work. As if the kids are in school, I can go back to work in the fall to help with bills... trying to figure THAT out as well (i know it's totally possible).~Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721467227365161280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391563092135742010.post-83851311503449916402011-04-29T22:44:12.836-04:002011-04-29T22:44:12.836-04:00I also meant to tell you that after two years of h...I also meant to tell you that after two years of homeschooling I feel like I'm getting the hang of it -- don't be too hard on yourself. It's an adjustment on everyone, especially mom.<br /><br />They will learn more at home on a bad day than on any regular day in public school. Dad will come to see that, too.<br /><br />Hang in there!Mary Pratherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061111766665395897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391563092135742010.post-36157065992585815882011-04-29T22:42:36.872-04:002011-04-29T22:42:36.872-04:00Didn't know you were from The Finger Lakes - w...Didn't know you were from The Finger Lakes - we visit my sister in Rochester often.
