Homeschooling looks like this
I
Yesterday we spent a little while making our own fossils. We mixed up the dough {1 cup flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup polenta, 1 cup water}, rolled balls and pushed in shells and leaves {and toy dinosaurs!}. All three had fun making these, and it lead to lots of discussions on how real fossils are made.

April 29, 2014 at 09:33I hadn’t realised people homeschooled in the UK! I’ve always believe school should be fun – it makes learning easier (for me at least!)and the girls certainly look like they had fun x

April 29, 2014 at 09:54Will be trying that out with my boys! I have often considered homeschooling, but never taken the leap of faith needed to try it!

April 29, 2014 at 11:05I love the idea of home-schooling but completely impractical for me currently.

April 29, 2014 at 12:02We came very close to home schooling our eldest but he wasn’t keen in the end. I look forward to following what it is like for you.

April 29, 2014 at 12:28I keep thinking about homeschooling….but don’t think I have the patience to do it!

April 29, 2014 at 13:13I think you’re very brave to homeschool – I don’t think I know enough about a broad enough range of subjects, nor do I have the patience to be at home with children all day!
Looks like you are having fun though. :)

April 29, 2014 at 20:29I’m really looking forward to reading more posts in the series. I love this activity – mine are really into fossils at the moment so this would definitely appeal to them.

April 29, 2014 at 20:34I am so looking forward to seeing more in this series – i’m quite in awe of mums & dads who home school :) And i think for a non-homeschooler like myself, posts like this are such an inspirational way of getting ideas for educational crafts at home which organically lead onto other activities & discussions :) x

April 29, 2014 at 22:24Really looking forward to this series Polly. My girl starts school in September. I hope she will continue to enjoy learning as much as she always has, but I do wonder how it will go for her. I think it’s wonderful that you have the confidence and patience to teach your three girls at home.

May 1, 2014 at 16:00Such a lovely idea, I’m one of the (probably many) people who don’t really have a clue about homeschooling works, so am intrigued It sounds like lots of fun.
