My passion is teaching and finding ways to teach children in fun, hands-on, creative ways. The unit studies I make on Squidoo reflect my view that learning should be integrated and no skills should be taught in isolation.
I believe that each topic studied needs to be looked at through multi-sensory activities and should draw children into the excitement of learning.
As a retired teacher and homeschooling mom I believe that educational activities should invite children to explore and thirst for knowledge.
I homeschooled my oldest until 7th grade. My son until 3rd grade and after many years of not homeschooling I just started to homeschool my youngest in 7th grade so it looks like I will be completing the circle.
We us an eclectic bordering on unschooling approach.
