People in Ohio "Why Do You Homeschool"
by Blythe
Pelham
 A friend and fellow homeschooler asked recently what my answer was
when people inquired why I homeschool. I replied that it depended on who was asking and
what I thought their motivation might be. Even when I thought I could trust the question
and the questioner, I didn't have a neat little response to pull from my pocket. My
friend's query did get me thinking . . . and thinking quite a bit. I know the pieces I
write for the newsletter help me to clarify my own reasons for homeschooling.
Let me tell you more...
Terry's Healthy Cincinnati Style Chili
  This is a
recipe from Terry offered up by a member of our momscooking discussion group for our ChiliUSA collection. Terry developed this recipe in the
Cincy Ohio area. It started as a regional favorite spread on top of spaghetti topped with cheddar cheese and then
Terry came up with this version which is a great change of pace from the regular
"skettie".
The Rulers of the House
  Sharon from Ohio says,
"Here are the babies and the rulers of our house. Desi is a chocolate Lab who is 4
years old.Woody is a 6 month old Basset and learning quite a
few tricks from his brother. They are joys to have around and give us lots of love..I
couldn't live without them." See our other pictures of Labs and Bassets and try our
coloring sheet too!!

 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. She has a reputation
for being a fountain of great tips and specific resources. In fact, she has graciously
offered to answer specific questions on our discussion group. |
