Atypical homeschooling

Published by kamirusma at 5:27 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Saturday is typically not considered a school day, unless you homeschool. If you homeschool, then everyday is a school day in one form or fashion.

Today I took the kids to Hunting and Fishing Days - an annual event - at a local community college.

We got to sit in on a very interesting program about birds of prey. They got to learn more about owls and hawks, and find out about the American Kestrel and the Turkey Vulture.  Then we saw a demonstration of catfish “noodling” or as we call it here in Southern Illinois, catfish “hogging.” Hogging/noodling is a method of catching fish with your hands.

So these weren’t your typical school lessons and the kids had no idea they were doing schoolwork!

I love homeschooling!

    My cousin is homeschooling her daughter. My daughter goes to public schools, but if she does not start doing better in her classes, she will be having school at home next year.

    I have met many brand-new homeschoolers with similar stories. Best wishes if you decide to homeschool. It’s an adventure!
