Fun Fridays...

Fridays are the one day of the school week that I plan on not planning. It's the day when Gabby goes to co-op. So I've decided to call them Fun Fridays (mostly because lazy does not makes an alliteration with Friday). So to keep with this theme, every Friday (that I actually remember to) I will be sharing a fun homeschooling site that either someone has shared with me, or I have simple stumbled upon during my excessive hours browsing the internet instead of sleeping. Unfortunately I have not yet found a site that helps fix run-on sentences.

So here's my first one...

http://www.learningpage.com/

It has some of the cutest worksheets for math & science. You have to register, but it's totally free, and so worth it if you have kids in lower elementary. The site also has links to it's sister sites that have other useful resources.

The Beginning...

So Gabby & I (see I can use proper English) are starting this long and crazy journey called homeschooling. We have no set method, and no intentions of ever buying a complete curriculum (doesn't that kind of take the fun out of homeschooling). But we do have a love of learning and an ever expanding library of books with everything from Dr. Seuss to Victor Hugo and even Stephanie Meyer (but don't worry I won't be teaching her to love Edward anytime soon).

I've set up this blog to document our first year (and maybe many after) of homeschooling. I'm using it to tell myself (and anyone else who stumbles upon this site) what is working and not working. Things I want to try, or ideas I want to incorporate. I'll also list books, lots of them, that have helped us learn and grow.

So have fun exploring...
