Adventures in Homelearning

Jade and Nick doing a fuel cell experiement.
This year Jade will be doing Kindergarten at home. Staying at home can run a mother through the gamut. It can be intense- joyous and distressing. For me, although I occasionally entertain the idea of packing my kids off to school, the benefits of staying home with them, learning and growing together as a family, far outweigh the disadvantages.


OCTOBER 2, 2003
Busy, busy.

Our schedule has gotten pretty full somehow.

I feel faintly annoyed about it. I made an effort not to put Jade in tons of classes this season because I wanted our schedule to be relaively open and low-stress. But somehow I allowed myself to be lured into a busy, busy schedule. Taekwando, Math-Science Nucleus (starting next week), Tuesday AP Playgroup, Storytime at the Library, a drama class, SPIRALs and TCH Park Days. It doesn't really sound like all that much. But itis. Because now that my car is broken, that's at least 2 hours in travel time, plus the length of time taken up by the activity.

What was I thinking?
