IT'S A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

Welcome to the new school year guys!

We are officially in 1st grade!!

Saraphina is excited to learn this year and is also not sure what to think about this new regimen lol 

We have stepped it up big time this year. She is one of those that will learn all day if shes interested. So its hard to keep up at times. But we are gonna hit it hard this year!
I am so excited to watch her grow.
This year we have added foreign language to our list of subjects.
We are going to be learning French, Spanish, & American Sign Language.
She asked to learn sign language. Which I thought was so amazing.
She told me that she needed to learn it so she could talk to the kids who cant hear. Because its not their fault they cant hear & she wants to be able to communicate.
Which touched this little black heart of mine.
So on our 1st day we did a little photo shoot which showcased the many faces of my daughter...
I hope everyone had a wonderful 1st day of school!
Please enjoy Saraphina's silliness.

Social Media and Homeschool

Well as much as we don't like it, social media plays a big part in how we homeschool now days. Between connecting with other homeschooling families, to finding teaching resources, we have to accept that this is how we homeschool now. 

But have you ever thought that maybe we rely to much on it. 

I know for me, I rely on it more than I want to. Mainly because well I didn't go to school for teaching. So being able to find like minded parents & teaching materials is gold.

If you are new to homeschooling I would encourage you to learn to use these resources to your advantage. Find some homeschooling groups that are close to you.

You can do specific searches for this. You can look for only religious homeschooling groups, or if your like me and want non religious they have secular groups also. 

Shoot, I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find homeschooling groups for specific religions. 

Also places like Pinterest provide endless inspiration for projects and curriculum. 

So don't be afraid to dive into the social media world for homeschooling. 

My two go to places are Facebook and Pinterest

So go ahead and dive on in!!
