Homeschool

When your homeschool plans go the way of the dinosaurs

March 18, 2015 by Erin Vincent 20 Comments

A St. Patrick's Day that didn't go as planned. Today is St. Patrick's Day and as such I thought my son Gabriel might like to learn about Ireland.  We are interest led homeschoolers. I let our son choose what he wants to learn. I may make suggestions on something I think he will enjoy learning but most days it is completely up to him. On this particular day, I thought that with all of his friends … [Read more...] about When your homeschool plans go the way of the dinosaurs

What Homeschool Looks Like

March 11, 2015 by Erin Vincent 12 Comments

This post is a part of the What Homeschool Looks Like series over at Our Life At Home. I chose this photo of my son as we were leaving the library this week. The library is such a magical place for us. The whole world is at our fingertips. I have a strict policy when I take my son to the library.....He chooses what he wants to read, always. I never make him pick a book. I may give him … [Read more...] about What Homeschool Looks Like

Taekwondo Kid

March 9, 2015 by Erin Vincent 17 Comments

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that combines combat and self-defense techniques. In Korean, tae means "to stomp" or "to break with the foot"; kwon means "to strike or break with fist"; and do means "way of life." So, loosely translated, Taekwondo means "the way of the foot and hand." Taekwondo Kid My husband and I started looking into martial arts for our son, Gabriel, back in September. … [Read more...] about Taekwondo Kid

Snow Day!

February 25, 2015 by Erin Vincent 24 Comments

We had our first little snow today...it was less than an inch really. Not a big deal except the children thought it was the greatest thing to ever happen. Gabriel woke up and came rushing into my bedroom, "Mama, Mama! There's snow! It's Beautiful! Come See!" As I struggled to wake up I heard him singing in the living room, " See the Beautiful snow. See the Beautiful snow." Snow Day After … [Read more...] about Snow Day!

What Homeschool Looks Like

February 25, 2015 by Erin Vincent 2 Comments

This post is part of the What Homeschool Looks Like series over at Our Life At Home. Jade is always moving. After running, jumping, and throwing snowballs in our first snow of the year, my daughter tumbled face first into a mud puddle.

Interest Led Learning: A Prehistoric Boy

February 17, 2015 by Erin Vincent 10 Comments

My son has been a dinosaur fanatic ever since he was 3 years old. This passion has spilled over into everyday life for us. What started out as a little boys interest has led to many museum visits, documentaries, puzzles, science experiments, internet searches, geography, mapping skills, and paleontology summer camps. As a family, we have all learned more about the Permian, Jurassic, Triassic, … [Read more...] about Interest Led Learning: A Prehistoric Boy

A Day in the Life of My Scholar

January 26, 2015 by Erin Vincent 6 Comments

  I wake up with a pain in my neck...I have slept on it wrong. I roll over and realize Papa is still in bed. It must be really early! Papa's alarm goes off at 4:30am. He gets up to turn his alarm off and looks at me in shock. "What are you doing awake?!" he exclaims. "Can't Sleep", I say. As I sit up, I see light coming from under the door. Someone else is awake. A Day in the Life … [Read more...] about A Day in the Life of My Scholar

A Day in the Life of My Scholar

January 8, 2015 by Erin Vincent

This was the very first post I ever did. Before we truly embraced that we were unschoolers. Since then many things have changed. The musical, Grease, is no longer Jades favorite soundtrack. Today it is The Lion King. Papa no longer gets to come home during the day and Gabriel bounces around around with his interests, but is still a lover of paleontology. April 24, 2015 A Day in the Life of My … [Read more...] about A Day in the Life of My Scholar
