The aquarium has been a great resource. ... ? We go on a lot of nature hikes, at the beach or local trails by our house . There is endless learning out in nature, our boys thrive outdoors. ? Freedom academy offers so much support, enrichment classes, parent classes ( If you need some assistance on teaching, coming up with creative ideas, having a hard time on a subject) Tons of great resources! ? It’s great bonding for the entire family, there will be struggles just like everything else in life but we as parents are their teachers . We owe it to our kids to give them the absolute best, And for our family that has been homeschooling. : .

! Meet Chelsie Wright, one of our Teacher Consultants! ?... I love the opportunity to get to know all of the families I work with! Each homeschool journey is so different and it is a joy to come alongside each family and support, encourage, and celebrate with them. ? Hands down the Harry Potter series -- this magical world is one I am always grateful to return to. ? I love to bake cakes! After I finished my MA in Education I wanted to find something to fill my time. So I decided to take up baking and cake decorating. I spent a lot of time on Youtube and in the kitchen and have loved every minute of it! Pictured: Chelsie, her husband Tony, and their daughter Wren

! Meet the Humphrey Family. Bryanna homeschools her 3 children: Elijah (4th), Avery (3rd), and Jack (1st). ? Well honestly, some days just don’t go as planned and that’s the beauty of homeschool. We have the flexibility to space out our learning throughout the day as needed. A typical day begins at 9am with a break for lunch around noon and then finishing our last core subject after lunch. ... ? Learning Dynamics was a huge blessing to our kindergartner this past school year. Learning to read didn’t come as naturally to him as it did to our older two kids and this curriculum really helped him through that process! ? Be patient with yourself and your children. Figuring out what works for your family and each child is a process and it gets easier each year! : !
