Today's quote is in honour of Ruth Beechick who has inspired and encouaged me on my homeschool journey. I found out the other day that she passed away recently.
"Sometimes a teaching parent feels guilty when home school
seems informal and related to regular family activities. If this
happens to you, remember that such informal teaching is a
powerful kind of teaching. You and your child need not sit down and play Classroom in order to accomplish good teaching and learning."
-Ruth Beechick

ReplyDeleteYou have been super busy! I also hate getting back into a routine after a long break, mostly because it's so tough for Firecracker to get back into a routine after a break.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are so full of awesome goodies! I loved that list of 27 places. I can't wait to show my 11 year old! By the way...we are having a rough time getting back into it too.
