This year has been a rough year for our homeschool. I think what we need is more electronic free time, more sleep (for me), more organization (for me) and I need help finding a curriculum or several that work for my youngest who would rather not sit and do worksheets.
I like Great Homeschool conventions and Simple Homeschool on Facebook.
Hi – I would like to have more organization with our homeschool and some more ideas on how to make it less like actual school. I would also love to check out different kinds of curriculum to see if something would work better for us. Thank you!
I just liked Great Homeschool Conventions on Facebook. I have already liked Simple Homeschool. Thanks again!
More hands on activities are needed. We have paperwork to do but are lacking in the other areas.
We need a boost with math! Always math. Also would love encouragement and help homeschooling two of my children with sensory processing challenges.
I have a High Functioning Autistic 15 year old that I homeschool, our boost needs to be with direction and focus, he is in 9th grade. I feel like neither of us are getting this homeschooling thing down. I need a boost in confidence, strength, wisdom, knowing that he is learning. He struggles with getting started and finishing tasks. I too have already liked Great Homeschool and Simple Homeschool on FB. Our biggest struggles are Math and Reading.
We are just starting with kindergarten and I don’t feel like I can mess too much up quite yet, but I still need to learn more in general and figure out a vision for how I want this to work. We are just kind of winging it right now and I know I can’t get away with that as she gets older!
We could use help in just about every capacity imaginable! As a first time homeschooler to two formally publicly schooled children this year has been one filled with a lot of self doubt. Attending this convention with free tix would be a tremendous help.
Like Great Homeschool Conventions and Simple Homeschool already! Need all the help I can get! 😉
I liked Simple Homeschool and GHS Comvetions and Facebook. Love you guys!
We just need to get started! My daughter is four and I am so ready to start exploring all the different things available out there. Going to a convention would an awesome introduction I think!
I am finding that I need to change what we are doing completely. Much of what I am doing now is just not working. I have spent the past few weeks realizing that we all need a fresh start…I am weary but I don’t want to give up! This can be a happy experience for all of us. I just need to find out what that means for our family. Too many days end in tears (theirs and mine).
