Organizing the Nest Survey, Part 6 ~ Home Learning (& an Internet Query)
January 24, 2013
Hello there everyone, and Happy Thursday!
So let's talk about home learning, a subject near and dear to my heart - *raises hand* - 12-year veteran right here! There's a lot to manage when you add home education to your family's already full plate - so naturally, there's a lot to discuss when it comes to organizing it all - but I tried to keep my questions simple. ;)
And so as not to leave anybody out, I have an "internet" question at the end of the post that I've been meaning to ask for a while, so if you'd like to leave a comment for the giveaway, please feel free to check that out ...
So my "organizing" questions for today are as follows ...
1. Do you work with a formal lesson plan each week?
2. (And if so) where do you write down/keep these lesson plans?
3. How do you keep your kids on task/aware of their responsibilities?
4. Do you have a separate learning room or space?
5. How do you keep "school stuff" in order? What do you find hardest to organize?
6. Do you find it a challenge to balance time spent outside the home (field trips, get-togethers, clubs, etc.) with time spent on academics at home?
***
And, my question for those who don't have homeschooling comments to share, is about two online activities - Pinterest and Instagram. Are you using either of these sites, and how do you use them? I'm somewhat familiar with Pinterest but I really have no idea how Instagram works. It seems as though everyone's using one of these sites these days - or both!
Information, please? :)
Now if you'd like to revisit previous survey comments (to read through or add your own), please click on the following links:
1. to-do lists (daily and someday)
2. family food
3. calendars
4. file folders and paper management
(Remember - each time you comment your name is entered in the contest!)

Well my friends, it is BEYOND frigid here in New England today - a high of 19 today, I think? We'll be in the deep freeze for some time, but there is relief in sight for next week. Rain, too - but I'll take it if it means temps in the 40s! I'm getting itchy for spring which is kind of dangerous when it's still only January! As for me and the babe, I'm still taking it easy here, and things have quieted down nicely. Well, except for the little boy himself who is VERY active inside his mama! He's now moving around so vigorously that others can feel him from the outside, and you can even SEE him moving my tummy around. (Sorry if that's TMI, lol!) It's a miracle, honestly - each day I give thanks that we have been blessed this way once again. Late May seems way off and yet, things seem to be moving along pretty quickly!
Friends, please have yourselves a nice Thursday ... I'll see you here again very soon!

ETA - It seems some folks are having trouble leaving comments, and I have no idea what's up with Typepad, but I appreciate all the more the time and effort involved in leaving your thoughts! No survey post tomorrow - look for one over the weekend! :)
