Still here....

Elizabeth and I just started working on her 10 grade year of our home school journey. It has been some of the most frustrating and fulfilling time of my life. She has become a wonderful young women. She is interested in all things art and music. She tolerates most of her other subjects. She really enjoys looking for her own things to study. I call her the queen of useless facts because she loves nothing better than to research some obscure subject and learn all about it. I think the greatest treasure I have given her is a love for learning. Something mot of her friends in public school lack. Next year as she begins her 11th grade year she is going to start attending Anderson University to study Art and Religion. It is a wonderful school just about 40 minutes from our home. It has a wonderful program and reputation. She is getting very excited about it. Since we have not been on in a while I would like to share some of the amazing resources we have been using in our home school journey as of late. Most of them are free to boot. One of the most used and needed resource has been The Kahn Academy at https://www.khanacademy.org. It is awesome. Next we have been using CK 12 and the flex books system at http://www.ck12.org. You tube is one of my daughters favorite places to hang out as well. We spend a lot of time at the local library also. I do not spend a whole lot of money. Being rather low income has never prevented me from providing my kids with a very well rounded and diverse education. Some people are amazed by this but I am resourceful when I need to be. I love learning new things and love sharing those things with others. Being a parent and a home school teacher has afforded me the freedom to do just that everyday of my life. I truly believed God has blesses me and my family in so many ways. Finding out I could home school those I cared about has been a big blessing. If anyone out there needs questions answered or just some one to talk to about becoming a home school parent, or teaching or even just an ear to listen. I would truly love to here from you. Thank you for checking out our little piece of the web. Keep coming back because we are here always for you.
