Homeschooling Here at Minnesota Mom: Why We Do What We Do

May 19, 2015 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: About Us, Homeschooling, Minnesota Me, Podcasts 7 Comments

If ever you’ve wondered how—and why—we homeschool, I’m giving the lowdown over at Ed Snapshots.

Pam and her blog are wonderful. She offers a treasure trove of resources! I had a lot of fun talking with Pam as part of her Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling series. (I’m the voice of School-in-a-Box, aka Seton Homeschooling Curriculum.)

Here is the link to the interview:

The Ultimate Guide to Homeschool Methods: Do you do school-at-home?

Check it out and let me know what you think! You’ll get to hear my Minnesota accent. ; )

      Likewise, Pam, and I loved loved loved your accent! It's decidedly NOT Minnesotan!! : )

    You sounded great. I have to admit, I am more than a little envious that your girls stick with their school work when you become distracted with something else. That's Faith's greatest weakness — she gets distracted if I'm not at the table to redirect. I think that's a disadvantage of being home alone — with no other siblings.

      Would it help you used little incentives and motivators? A couple Andes mints during Math…the promise of Minecraft or iPad time once she's finished for the day?

      Maybe our girls could do FaceTime together! Would that make the paragraph -writing more palatable?

      She gets her share of rewards, and ahem, punishments, but mostly she is just verrry distractible. She would love to FaceTime!

    Oh I'm looking forward to this! My oldest is almost 6 and we're hoping to figure out curriculum stuff soon, but there's so much information that it's so overwhelming for me (and I'm a former public school teacher!)…

      It definitely can be overwhelming, Rosie. It'll be okay. God's got this!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
