In the beginning

I am a homeschooling (unschooling) mother of 6. We are expecting another in May. My oldest child is a boy and he's 16. We have 5 girls, ages 14, 12, 10, 5 and 2.5.  New baby is a BOY!!  We'll be having another UA home waterbirth.

My kids have a very unstructured school day.  I feel learning life skills is more important than vomiting information. I do have one child that attends public school.  My 10 yr old is LD and has sensory integration disorder.  I was finding it very difficult to teach her at home and decided that a public school would be best for her because they have access to tools and resources I just can't provide for her at home.

My son has Tourettes and homeschooling has been a blessing to him.  It's hard to learn in public school when you have a disorder that is quite obvious and distracting.  He has a great interest in computers and graphics design, especially video game design.

 

I'll be back to start blogging about our "school" activities.
