YEAR THREE CURRICULUM
In this blog post, I share our homeschooling choices for the upcoming year, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Our decisions are rooted in what has proven successful for our family through trial and error. The intention is to inspire others to discover their own tailored paths.
YEAR THREE - 3RD/4TH GRADE
Until recently this conversation has only been had while looking at the state standards and planning curriculum for the next year. (We still honor the beginning of each year, we label it differently.) I have no real reason as to why this is, it just doesn't seem that relevant to our system. I say it's since turned into an experiment because since then it's become fascinating to watch people react to whatever answer Silas goes with on any given day. I find adults don’t always know how to engage with or interact with children.
ANSWERING YOUR HOMESCHOOL QUESTIONS
I recently appeared as a guest on The Cosmic Dispatch and got to be on the “answering” end of audience questions. In case you don’t know, I appear on the show once a month and ask show creator/host Cory Nakasue questions from our audience. You can find all past question and answer episodes in the show archive.
In this episode: Learning Across The Cancer-Capricorn Axis: Homeschooling, Astro-Parenting, and Mentoring, (also on YouTube). Cory asks me questions about homeschooling and my Astro-Parenting project. Because we were limited on time, I unfortunately could not answer all the questions on air. BUT! Cory and I have plans to revisit this conversation (and maybe host a workshop?!) in the future. I wanted to share some of my notes for each question in the meantime.
