getting started


Not sure if anyone is still following this little
blog for homeschoolers.

But we'll try to revive things around here
a bit as school is getting back into swing.

I gotta tell you
that my grand plans for getting a ton of things
done this summer fizzled.

Turns out that I work better when we're on a tight
schedule.

Or so it seems.
We'll see.



I had someone suggest that we discuss the subject
of

*How to get started at homeschooling*

My own thoughts are:


*Keep things really simple in the beginning.

*Ask every homeschool mom you know for advice
and what curriculum they use.

*Don't get overwhelmed by ALL the choices,
start with something that's been
recommended to you and go from there.

*Don't go overboard buying things.


I could go on and on but I think that kind of sums it up.
It just takes time to figure out what
works best for your child(ren).

Any other ideas??
