Hello everyone- Is anyone interested in taking a parent/child yoga class at the co-op? If I get enough feedback about convenient times and level of interest,...
Hi Heather! So, this would be a class for both the parent and the child? Could it be a parent and two children? I am very interested. My only hesitation is...
I am assuming that multiple kids would work- you would be more interacting with your 2 year old. Is there a good day/time for you? I think it should be...
We are pretty open timewise this summer. I have some loose commitments (playdates, etc.) that I can juggle. Mornings or late afternoon are preferred, simply...
Hello All!! My name is Annamarie Waldon. I am a stay @ home mom with two daughters. Skyler 5 and Taylor 3. We live in Alamogordo right now but my husbands work...
Hello, I joined this list recently and I can't remember if I introduced myself. I don't think so. I live in Alamogordo. I am a single parent to a 9yo boy who...
Nice to meet you Katy, What exactally is Un-schooling?? Any help you could give to help us get started would be greatly appreciated... My husband also works ...
Melani, Thanks for the info..... I agree with you on the Unschooling... I would like to have a few curriculum guides,but still not have it so structured. There...
Annamarie, I definitely know what you mean about curriculums! We went to the curriculum fair and conference in Albuquerque in April, so we got to look through...
Unschooling is an absence of forced learning. We go where our interests carry us. We go to lots of museums, parks, the library, the zoo, I leave books,...
Hi Annamarie, You may already know this, but to set up a homeschool in New Mexico, all you have to do is contact the NM Department of Education and sumbit a...
Yes,I have already signed up via the internet but I still need to get the written confermation. I told Skyler about Penelope and she is sooo excited to have a...
Hi, I'm Margarita, I just joined. I'm a SAHM and we've lived in LC about 2 years. I have an almost-2 year old and I've been thinking about homeschooling but ...
Hi Margarita, I am new to this list too, so I hope this isn't to forward of me, but I was just wondering why you feel that you have to send your daughter to...
Hi Katy, Thanks for the greeting and the info. I guess I feel it's peer/family pressure and just the expectation that kids start preschool at 3 because all the...
Welcome, Margarita. Hmm, do I know you from somewhere. The name sounds so familiar! Just kidding, of course, I know I know you. People who are against...
Hi all- had to pipe in with a different view- maybe preaching to the choir here mostly, but most homeschool parents report that their kids are so much more...
Hi Melani! It's good to hear from you! I agree, socialization is a two-sided coin. It is amazing (and scary) what kids pick up at school not just from kids but...
Hi Heather, Thanks for sharing your experience. Your son sounds like a joy! I'd say that gives you bragging rights. Heck, I wish I had his social skills, I'm...
Hello homeschool parents- We will be holding a "parents and children together" yoga class on Tuesdays at the co-op. The instructor, Shoshana, would like to...
Hi, everyone. Fall is quickly approaching, and I was curious about what you all have planned for homeschooling in the Fall. Are you all unschooling? Is...
We will do some structured learning in the mornings. For some reason, the idea of unschooling makes sense to me but also scares me. I know that's what we did...
Melani, I don't know that I am committed to unschooling exclusively forever either. But for a kindergartener, it seems to make sense. Mary and I have read...
Melani- I wanted to chime in and encourage you to school/unschool how you see fit. Teaching my very clever son to read was a bit of a struggle, because we had...
Thanks for your thoughts, Heather and Bruce! I am definitely learning as I go, and I know that I have so much more to learn. I am excited about starting his...
Hello All It has been a while since I have posted as I was moving, but we are in Las Cruces now!!! Can't wait to talk to you all and to learn alot more. I need...
Oh I have to say I had problems with her last year. Did you happen to register online? If so, they should send you an email confirmation. You can try this...
