The 1st Homeschool Day of 2012

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

I admit that both mommy and daughter have enjoyed our time off from school. Munchkin has even taken a little time off from her volunteer work at the stables to regroup a little. Today, the break was over, and we started back up with school work. I admit that it’s good to be back on schedule even though I can’t say that I’m looking forward to grading school work. **wink** Surprisingly, the day went smoothly which is not always the case when we start back up after a long break. Munchkin jumped back into everything without any issues. Granted, we…

Hands-On Learning: TeacherGeek

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

TeacherGeek sells products that teach students engineering, math, science, and technology in a fun, hands-on manner.

Today, we looked at a couple of “classic” trucks that were for sale in our area to help Munchkin get an idea of exactly what style of truck she wants as well as to help her solidify how much work (and what type of work) she wants to put into her truck. As we looked and talked, more clarity was found. We discussed how much various repairs and changes would cost which lead to discussions about coming up with ways to earn money. Since she is homeschooling, she does have a little more flexibility than some kids her age, but…

Creative Play

For the most part, I love that my husband is a big kid at heart. I admit that there are days that it drives me crazy, but overall, it’s a good thing. That being said, it can lead to some pretty crazy play around our house. Today, Daddy and Munchkin build a catapult (from a kit that we’re reviewing). Once it was assembled, the crazy play began. Hmm… I wonder how far this will fly? What do you think this will do? Finally, I had to tell Munchkin that certain objects needed to be taken into an area where nothing…
