An easier homeschool day? How can it be?

 

Another great blog post from www.hsclassroom.net 10 Ways To Make Your Homeschooling Days Easier

I am stealing several of these ideas!!

 

PRICE REDUCTION Old Schoolhouse EXPO just $17.00

You're late for class,

but that's OK! We have a special price for you, just $17 for the entire Old Schoolhouse EXPO!

Experience the final days of homeschool encouragement 22-23, 2013 and read my review below of Andrew Pudewa session. "Can’t make the exact times and dates listed? You won’t miss out! The annual week long Schoolhouse Expo recordings will be available with the price of your Expo ticket. You will receive a link to the recordings after the expo week is complete." Don't miss the special pricing that is going on right now just $17.00 for the entire EXPO!! What a deal!


Andrew PudewaI've actually heard Andrew Pudewa do this talk at a homeschool convention, I bought the MP3 of it and listen to it each year before school starts so that I remember that my SON IS NORMAL! lol. "Teaching Boys and Other Children Who Would Rather Make Forts All Day

Children like to do what they can do, they want to do what they think they can do, and they hate to do what they think they cannot do. If you want excited and enthusiastic children who learn well, you must understand these key laws of motivation, and focus on the essential requirement of relevancy. If it matters, children will learn it, and if it doesn’t, they won’t. This session will enlighten you with specific ways to find and create relevancy for children, even when they have no apparent interest."
The homeschooled student listened to Mr. Pudewa and promptly informed me (in a nice manner) that he is a perfectly normal boy! Tapping his pencil and making nosies while doing school work is all part of being a boy!

What the homeschooled boy did not like about Andrew Pudewa's talk:

The audio took some time to get right and that took up a bit of time. I was very eager to listen as I had hurried up to finish my school work in order to listen.

What the homeschooled boy liked about Andrew Pudewa's talk:
 
I learned that boys and girls are different, even though it sure does seem to me that the world says we are all the same  :O(
I liked the slides,
I like to stand up when I learn and my parents are always wanting me to sit down (I think they are changing their minds on this point).

Time for a YUMMY recipe

Gluten Free Marble Cupcakes

I got this from a friend on a gluten free/casein free group. They are yummy and I just took my first batch out of the oven. I think the next batch I will skip the marble part, I'm not a big cocoa fan. But these are still really good!! Head on over to Marcie's blog for the recipe (click here)

NO milk, NO eggs, NO soy, NO wheat or gluten, NO tree nuts, NO peanuts, NO fish, NO Shellfish, yet these taste WONDERFUL!!

You can see one missing in the bottom right hand corner, I snatched on and ate it. YUM!!
And for those of you who are not big pumpkin fans, don't worry, these are not pumpkin flavored!! Though I am now thinking that when I leave the cocoa out of the next batch, that I might add in some pumpkin pie spice. I will report back on how that goes.

Back to baking!

Moe's Top 10 Reasons Why...You Need To Be A Part Of Your State's Home Education Association.

 

Are you a part of your states home education association? If not you should be! Ask yourself why you are or why you are not.
As homeschoolers we like to be different and be on our own...haha...do I lie? NOT!

In the case of state home education associations we have strength in numbers. Here are just a few things that your state home education association can and should offer you.

1) Information on changing homeschool laws and what we can do about them.
2) An annual home education state convention.
3) A listing of local homeschool groups throughout your state for you to join.
4) Help and encouragement for homeschoolers at different stages (beginner, grade school, junior high, high school, special needs)
5) Information about local and state events.
6) Updates on things like Common Core, graduation requirements, drivers ed and lots more.
7) Tips for preparing for each new stage of homeschooling.
8) Ideas for passing on the baton of homeschooling from you to your children's children.
9) TONS of resources for FREE!
10) MUCH MORE!

So what are you waiting for? Do a GOOGLE search for your state's homeschool association to see what you have been missing out on!
