Wow, what a holiday vacation. We took what I would call a short one this year. Alot of people I know who homeschool take the whole month of December off. Which is a nice convenience in homeschooling. We just start in August to make up for the time and also don't take off snow days and other ridiculous holidays.
I'm excited to start up school again. The children are doing their individual work now, we call it i-work. I keep having to walk in though and intervene 'cause they start talking. Mostly about what they're learning. So that makes it nicer. They're not playing at least.
With my 3 yr old we're gonna start to learn to read. I have this wonderful phonics book. Phonics Pathways. It's inexpensive and it is sufficient to teach all you need to know to begin reading. I didn't even get through half the book with my older two before they were fluent readers. I love it. I also have it featured on my GFY Homeschool supplies. It's even cheaper there than my mother bought it for 6 years ago. And eligible for free shipping. Look it up.
So what do you all think of homeschooling? Fill out the poll below please.
