After visiting your home, my son said,”Having a good reading chair makes reading fun.”

Bye for now. See you soon.

The woods and trails are gorgeous in the spring of year,so.come join all homeschoolers across the US and World in a national hike/bike event. Please pass along some pictures afterward. Here is all the info, but if an event has not been set up in your area, please just go out and get involved on your own:

National Annual Homeschool
Hike/Bike Event

The Homeschool Hiking/Biking annual event began in May 2005 as a
way to gain recognition for homeschooling as well as getting some
exercise, group involvement, and introducing other homeschooling
families to hiking and biking in the great outdoors and meet
others!! It is an annual event now and will be held each year the
last full week in May. We are asking for individuals and groups
involved in homeschooling to set up events in their areas. You may
make your event in varying skill levels if you would like for
homeschoolers with varying skills. Maybe one person or group in your
area can set up a hiking event and another can set up the biking
event. Or you may want to work with many homeschooling groups to
have one big event. The possibilities are many, and I would love to
hear your ideas. This years dates are the week of May 25th to May
31st. The woods and paths and trails are beautiful in the spring so
please join us.
If you would like to set up a group event in your area, please send
your name, email address, phone, City and State, newspaper name
(phone and email also), Tv name and email, radio name and email to
me (Earlene) at:
homeschoolhikebike@hotmail.com
or call me at 240-727-0675
or 301-582-0716

We can issue a press release to your local newspaper or to you to use everywhere
and please notify the local radio stations as well. Or you may go to our
website and copy the press release for yourself and group to use at:

You can also access this website to view all the state by state events listed so far
pictures of previous events.

Please
practice safe hiking and biking skills, take plenty of water and
snacks, and dress appropriately. We will assume no liability for any
accidents or injuries that may occur while participating in this event.

Please pass this info along to all homeschoolers and homeschool groups you know!!

As to suggestion # 2, we are in a home school “co-op” at our church, which is a mixed blessing because it is great for my senior, but way too academic for the rest of us. They run this like school, which I find very frustrating, but I may be able to teach in the afternoon when things are more flexible. I might teach two of the things I am personally excited about: Mapping the World by Heart with interested kids and moms, and an art class with my 7yod and other kids her age.

Someone is already teaching writing in the morning. I am going to email her a link to this blog.

Thanks!
