Before you begin homeschooling it is best to check out what requirements your state has. In Texas, it is very easy. I don’t need to notify anyone, no need for teacher qualifications, no state test (STARR test), no immunizations. I only need to teach math, reading, spelling, grammar and good citizenship. The curriculum must be written as well. You must conduct school in a bona fide manner. I teach all subjects not just the required ones. I do this because I think it’s important for our children to get a great education and because colleges will want all subjects. We also get the immunizations when the pediatrician says and I do give quizzes and test. If your child has been in the public school system then you must send a letter/mail to the school stating that you are withdrawing your child with the intend of homeschooling. There are many letters online you can find if you need help writing one. Now, this is information is not true for all states. So, it is best to lookup the state laws ...

While we are long-standing aficionados of the Djeco brand, our experience with their  Glitter Kit  has left us in a bit of a shimmering predicament. There is no denying that the four included projects result in stunning, crystalline artwork, but the logistical execution is, frankly, a bit of a "glitter bomb." The kit utilizes a "peel-and-pour" system: you use the provided tool to remove numbered stickers and then douse the adhesive area in glitter. While the box features a clever integrated funnel designed to pour excess glitter back into its vial, the reality was far less graceful. The primary frustration lies in the behavior of the glitter within the box. It possesses a stubborn static cling, refusing to vacate the corner of the funnel. Consequently, when you transition to the next hue, the remaining sparkles from the previous step contaminate the new vial. While this creates a somewhat whimsical "multi-color" effect, it is far from the precision I expe...

I have been asking before about what we do for PE. I do not think you have to put your child in an extracurricular activity for them to get exercise. There are many things you can do at home.  Exercises for Kids: Going on a walk/run/hike Riding a bike in the driveway or neighborhood  Go swimming  Playing tag Go to the playground/park There are kids workout videos on YouTube  Playing a physical video game like Ring Fit Adventures or Just Dance Do pilates/yoga/stretching with your child All of these are great exercise for not only the child but for adults as well. My daughter and I do many of these together. She does also do gymnastics. Our gymnastics center also offers a homeschool PE class. So, you could always call around your area and see if they have something like that. A lot of homeschoolers also get together and form teams that play against each other in different sports; football, soccer, volleyball, etc. How does your student get their exercise? Let me know i...
