I am a bit divided. I love old books, but I do not have the ability to extend myself and manage the teaching of those lessons to each child based on where they are at. I know, I have heard of the one room schoolhouse.I just haven't found my groove to manage that type of homeschool.
So I toss about between Robinson Curriculum, Christian Light Education, and Old Fashioned Education. I have for years, flipped flopped between these. I mostly love the old books. A couple of years ago, I fell onto Easy Peasy Homeschooling.
This is probably, 4 years ago. I did it for a month and then I felt like I couldn't keep track of what they are doing. Well a lot has changed in 4 years, and the printables and scope printables are a true treasure.
So deciding to use Easy Peasy as a change of pace for the the upcoming month, got my wheels spinning. If you haven't, go read up why Lee Giles started and created Easy Peasy. So if she made a website to direct her children and duplicate herself, then why can't the rest of us?
My typical issue is recreating the wheel. ALL THE TIME. I love old books. I told you that. I print lots of books, see I even do cost analysis on them. Sometimes, I just can't keep up and it feels like more stuff. So taking the example of Easy Peasy, I am working on making lesson pages for the books I love and have always wanted to use in our homeschool life.
I plan to store the work here publically and then reference these pages to a private blog that only my children have access to. I can link that blog post page to the desktop and it will have their list of work to do each day with the links needed, along with their user names and passwords.
If you find any use in these post that I make, feel free to use them. If you are doing something of the sorts, let me know. I honestly think Lee Giles is a genius! I feel a bit slow that it took me so long to realize that I can duplicate the model she has created to truly give my children a personalized education.
Thanks,
Trish
