I recently came accross and shared the following
thought on Facebook: "
Non of us are truly homeschooling; we are quarantine-schooling. Homeschooling involves visits to libraries, parks, the ice-skating rink, play dates, museums, co-op, gymnastics, etc ... This is completely different." Some families are emergency schooling at home or have found themselves with children at home due to early school closures. I wanted to say take a deep breath and please do remember that homeschool/education is NOT school at home. You do not need to school for eight hours a day. I will be sharing more on Monday.
I got thinking about this new normal that we are all struggling with and decided to blow the dust off my blog and start sharing some resources as I find them whilst ambling through too much social media!
One of the biggest blessings in my life is the homeschool friends I have met through being a member of the Homeschool Review Crew. My friend Michele from over at Family, Faith & Fridays has set forth
a fabulous challenge: A Letter a Day. I think I will be taking this one up starting on Monday. I really love the idea of posting a letter, yes a snail mail letter to someone. Social distancing does not mean disconnection.
Here are some great ideas and articals
Oh my I have just found a lovely old book on Google Books. It's a free eBook called:
Grand-Papa's Arithmetic: A Story of Two Little Apple Merchants.
Are you wanting to purchase books to be home delivered? Take a look at these companies:

In anticipation of more regular blogging and wondering how you are all holding up with the lack of social contact.
