Filling in the Holes



Homeschool. Phew, even just the word can seem overwhelming to a new homeschooler. Before I began, I imagined bookcases full of curriculum, worksheets, posters, tools. I thought of having my kids sitting at a table, working away, with me hovering over them to answer questions or give advice. I wondered what would happen to my laundry and dishes and personal time if I devoted myself to being the school teacher.

Thank heavens I found this site: www.tjed.org and clicked the "Start Here" button. What a relief!

It started me thinking. What is most important for my children to know and understand? What are they good at? What do they enjoy doing? I found a lot of communities for homeschooling across the country, but none in Utah.

Light bulb! Here it is! The group you've been looking for. Twice a month we'll get together and show what we've been doing recently, play some games, do a service project, and just have fun.
