Daily Messages -  I having these to forward on to my email savvy children. Sometimes I send it to them and ask them to reply with how that particular spiritual thought made them feel, or what they can do to be better at that or to learn from it. Sometimes I just send it to them and say “Enjoy!” I like keeping it random for them!

I love finding things on the Web that I can incorporate into my children’s repertoire of schooling without having to throw a great deal of money at it. This way I can spend our money on field trips and things to accent what we are learning. Most of my children’s schooling is online – not a school or a curriculum – but things that I research and put together so they get a ‘whole picture’ about something. I love to use Merriam Webster's Word of the Day. Each day they read those and send me an email (or post to their blog which goes to my email ) a sentence using that word. It helps all of us learn new words and also keeps them practicing writing sentences. What are some ways you do your Home School? I like to learn about how every one does it. I love how we are all so different and unique in our approaches.

 

Make it a great one!
