She says, "I originally got a couple of recipes off the web for a creamy dill sauce, and then did a bit of creative experimentation based on those and came up with this dish. It serves 4 as a side dish or 2 ala carte. Enjoy!" Alaskan Support Alaska Homeschooling Laws Teel Family Homepage is a very pretty homepage from the Teel's who live in Alaska. They provide a page with something for the entire family and has contributions from all of the kids. Thank you for that article by Linda Dobson! From: Pam in Alaska Read this article by Linda Dobson This will be my first year at homeschooling our 6yo dd. She completed Kindergarten in the PS last year and did fine. However, I watched the older children in her school - the sixth grade girls wore clothing I wouldn't even allow my daughter to wear when she's 18! The language they all used, even in 3rd and 4th grades, was horrendous. We've moved to another location in our city, and the PS my dd would go to is worse than the other. That's what solidified my decision to homeschool. My husband is supportive, but not sure it's the best choice. I am just relieved that there is information out there to back me up, when I am somewhat doubting myself. I am an educated person, but I wonder how well that "education" will help me sometimes, as I'm helping my child learn what she needs to know, and what we want her to know (morally). Thank you for those refreshing articles. I have printed them out and put on our bulletin board for quick reference, and quick confidence boosts! Keep them coming! Blessings, Pam in AK Meet the Author Rebecca Rupp, Ph.D. Home Learning Year by Year How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School hosted By Joe Spataro interview & FREE excerpt: "The Truth About Curricula" In this interview, Rebecca Rupp shares her insights on setting up your curricula. She says, "My new book is different from my previous homeschool books in that it is organized on a grade by grade (year by year) basis and can be used to create complete annual programs of study for kids of all ages." In the excerpt, "The Truth About Curricula," she points out that "One of the primary advantages of homeschooling is the ability to bypass the decreed norm. Homeschoolers can design their own curricula, assembling resources ad using approaches that best suit their own children’s needs." Read much more about this along with specific recommendations and ideas. Best of all, Rebecca Rupp is a regular participating member of our online discussion group homeschoolzone.
