Montessori Home Schooling By Diane Crawford
July 4th, 2008 | 
Author: The Montessori home schooling method was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s to educate children from poor families in San Lorenzo Rome. Dr. Montessori developed a method of teaching children as children, rather than smaller adults. Instead of pigeonholing children into the common institutionalized methods such as grading and testing, the Montessori home schooling method allows children develop their talents, takes note of weaknesses, and encourages children to develop both their weaknesses, and natural talents in their own time.

Summertime!
So I think it’s kinda funny that my sons are all happy that it’s Summer Vacation. They are home all the time, they don’t have to “go to” school, but somehow “Summer” means something extra special for them. I know that part of it is because they are watching TV and have friends and family who are in “traditional” school and everyone is talking about school being out. But I wonder if they think that things are going to be THAT different?

The Trouble With a Charter School Is……
Sometimes they are just too much of a “public school”. One of the reasons I liked the idea of using Odyssey Charter High School for Roger’s high school because of the interaction with other kids… as well as some interaction with teachers. I also really didn’t feel like I had the time, being that I’m working on growing a small business in todays economy, to do my own curriculum. I needed something that was ready made! Well.. the down side to having something “ready made” and using a public charter school, is that it’s still a public school and all that that implies.

Free Resource – What About Penmanship? A Guide for Homeschooling Parents
I just found this great free resource! It’s a guide for homeschoolers on how to choose the right penmanship to teach our children and how to go about doing it. I know how hard it can be to figure out how to teach cursive. There are so many different types of penmanship styles, it gets a little confusing! Luckily, this will answer some of those questions and make things a little easier for you.
