New Bee Homeschooler

When sharing the how-to’s of homeschooling I tend to start at the beginning or how to start homeschooling kindergarten.

When I leave my house with a silver long earring in one ear and a small gold earring in the other because my mind is on curriculum choices, I know it's time to go ahead and purchase it. I think part of the reason I have put it off is because it is my last time to sit down with Mr. Senior 2013.  The words of the poem Babies Don't Keep keep haunting me. I share it often in my new bee workshops to remind them of fleeting time but the words have come true for me this year. {sniffle}

Will you watch the transit of Venus later today? We can't wait and I love the free android app that I can download.

However, when it comes to lesson planning, I say Let all the apps for lesson planning and on line based lesson planners come. There is a group of homeschoolers that like them, but uhmmm, I am not one of them or at least not for lesson planning.
