Being my son’s primary teacher as we homeschool, it delights me to bits whenever there are chances that my husband would teach in my behalf. It may not be very often. But he does compensate through a handful of other ways.

My son loves spending time with the neighbor’s. Although I appreciate the convenience it allows me, I also have to watch it. (reasons on the succeeding paragraphs) Yes! Inasmuch as I love my son, I also need some time away from him from time to time. Just a few hours a week, really. By far, I’ve sorta/kinda devised my ways wherein I can do all things while he is around. But it is just extra convenient when he goes to visit them.
Three major reasons:

As a homeschooling family, I admit to the benefits of the internet when it comes to finding good resources about homeschooling. But there are quite a number of sites that we should all be made aware of. Like Omegle.com, for instance. It is a chat site that encourages people of all ages (no restricition, there is even no need to register) to talk to strangers. The exact thing that we have been taught when we were little not to do and the very thing that we right now, as parents prohibit our children to do.

My little homeschooler is breezing through the current program he is now in. I have not been uploading videos since we started this school year.

I have to admit that as much as I try to be there every single moment with my son, I cannot. Although I can pretty much be more hands on than a mom who works away from home. Zoning out on him as I bury myself in my “office work” is something that happens quite a few times.
It is good that my son loves to read his books. Most of which are Time Life books, which are more like Encyclopedias for kids. He loves it that he does not mind my having to remind him to quit playing online pbs games. There was this one moment that he asked permission if he could watch Dora via YouTube. Dora was his favorite when he was still a baby. I readily said yes. But after a while I was shocked to hear some a person on the background swearing! And you know how copycat children can get. That just about got me frantic for awhile.

My son and I started with our Wheatgrass Project a month ago. We intended to blog about it. But swamped with work I am, which explains why I am backlogged to my neck when it comes to blog articles I have lined up. Even as this Wheatgrass Project is not exactly a part of the curriculum, I have incorporated it in the things he could learn about – even off class. He is amazed at how the wheatberries (seeds) sprout out roots and later grow real grass out of those tiny bits.

And when I say curriculum, that would be ABCs with Ace and Christi. My son graduated last March from his Preschool with Ace and Christi with honors and we just got done with our first month on this current curriculum. This particular curriculum is designed to be preparatory for the child to shift to Level 1/Grade 1.

Our family visited Zoobic Safari last month. Our little homeschooler was so thrilled. His first visit to the zoo (Avilon) was in 2007. He was 2 years old then. It was fun that we were able to take him with us for this media event where a couple of attractions were launched.

Right from his initiative to start school a week before the school year officially started or even before that – when he will go over his previous lessons and request for a review during summer vacation, I really think my husband and I have a geek in the making in this little child of ours. Not that it’s bad. I love that he initiates and loves learning so much to want to bury himself in it instead of spending hours on end playing on the game consoles.

Another focus of ABCs with Ace and Christi’s curriculum is to develop the preschooler’s fine motor skills. One of the exercises that encourage that is the writing exercises. Here is my son practicing his writing skills. He is doing better by the day. He’s currently done with two paces of Word Building and Animal Science and 1 pace of Math. Read this article »
