Jennifer RitzieStarting some PreK geography/animal activities with my daughter. So I painted her a world map on a big canva roll I had. I DID consider quilting one, but figured this would be quicker and more interactive for her. She’ll get to paint in each continent as we learn about it! <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/earlyeducation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlyeducation</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/crafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/toddleractivities?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toddleractivities</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/prek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prek</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/homeschool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeschool</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/stayathomemom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stayathomemom</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/sahm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sahm</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/geography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geography</a>

ProPublicaIllinois Has Virtually No Homeschooling Rules. A New Bill Aims to Change That. —Following a ProPublica and Capitol News Illinois investigation, an Illinois lawmaker introduced legislation that aims to protect homeschooled students from abuse or neglect. <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/illinois-homeschool-regulations-bill?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.propublica.org/article/illinois-homeschool-regulations-bill?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post</a><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Illinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illinois</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homeschool</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Children</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parenting</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Law</a>

LuciaGOnce in awhile I have a flash of genius. Our curriculum suggested my son choose a Greek mythology figure to do a project about. He was struggling to get into the idea. Then I suggested he could build a house in Roblox, choose two figures to live there, decorate their bedrooms and I would have to figure out who lived there. He’s so excited, consulting the mythology book and really motivated. I love it!! I need a Roblox curriculum. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Homeschool</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Roblox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Roblox</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/GreekMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GreekMythology</a>

LuciaGThank you <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Monsterdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Monsterdon</a> ! We’ve been studying the hero’s journey in language arts and one of the final projects involves watching a movie featuring what we’ve learned about. The activities they had were things like making posters that I knew my kid wasn’t going to enjoy. Then! Inspiration!! We made Hero’s Journey bingo cards 😁 We are using these to watch The Goonies but they’d work for all kinds of movies. The Blossom&Root curriculum has a great list. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Homeschool</a>

LuciaGWe are really enjoying the Blossom and Root curriculum so far. Today in art we learned about Louise Bourgeois and made paintings inspired by one of hers. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Art</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Watercolor</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MixedMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MixedMedia</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Homeschool</a>

LuciaGToday is the official start to our new school year. We mostly take weekends off but Sunday is a great day for cooking, so we decided we are going to try a new recipe every Sunday for Home Ec. This week we tried Cotton Candy Sugar Cookies.They are fantastic! My son is super happy and he had a blast baking. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Baking</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Homeschool</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Food</a><a href="https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-cotton-candy-cookies/#recipe-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-cotton-candy-cookies/#recipe-link</a>

LuciaGTalk me off the ledge random internet people 😭 This is my first year buying curriculum and I’m feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. So far I’ve downloaded the Blossom and Root 4th grade bundle, put it into a folder, created folders in that folder for individual subjects, suppressed the urge to cry, drank some coffee and ate a muffin. I just need some encouragement from other homeschoolers. Please? <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Homeschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Homeschool</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScreamingIntoTheVoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ScreamingIntoTheVoid</a>

LuciaGOne thing I love about homeschooling is that I can let OMG sleep later in the morning while I enjoy quiet morning time. This morning he betrayed our unspoken agreement and woke up at 6:30. I feel robbed! My consolation here is that he asked me to supervise while he cooked himself “egg in a basket” and I’m really tickled that my 8 yr old is so comfortable in the kitchen already. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HomeSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeSchool</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MomentOfJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MomentOfJoy</a>

LuciaGI’m feeling suddenly, oddly isolated. We live in a small Midwestern town and the only co-op here is very religious. Like you have to answer questions about what you believe in order to join. I was looking at how to go about setting up a particular lesson and was hit with “I JUST WISH I HAD SOMEBODY TO TALK TO!” So where are my cool, leftist, secular homeschoolers? <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HomeSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeSchool</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HomeEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeEducation</a>
