The Schoolroom ~ Phase II (Dawson's opinion)

By
Yesterday I asked Dawson what he would like his schoolroom to look like?

He said "The 8th Grade Center".

He's having second thoughts. I know this is normal and natural. He's always gone to public school. The rest of his siblings are still going to public school. His friends are all in public school.

But, it's not the best environment for him, and we both know that.

I'll try again to get his opinion about what things, aesthetically, he would like in his schoolroom to make his learning environment comfortable. We'll get there.

    that would be hard to see all them go off to school. I hope him and his best friend stay super close like they are now.

    Maybe make it fun, a reading center with a big bean bag chair, or do a dry erase paint wall (or chalkboard wall) so he can draw on it and you could use it for school too.

    or local community college has classes for homeschool kids that like art, music etc.. maybe he could do that and all or a homeschool co-op where he will make homeschool friends his age.

    I;m really clueless when it comes to this stuff as you can tell so just read and delete if you want :)

    huge pats on the back for you 2 for taking this awesome adventure!

    I am sure this is a hard transition for both, but go with your hearts. Can't wait to see the results of the new school room.

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
