I really just want a place to record my thoughts and remember our journey through this. Im going to try not to censor myself. I’m M, my husband is P. We have one five year old daughter, B. I’m a covid homeschooler. A full time working homeschooler. An eclectic homeschooler. A liberal homeschooler. I’m a Jewish homeschooler. A pro science homeschooler. But more than anything else, I’m a type B homeschooler. I am not organized, I have trouble following a full curriculum to the letter. I can be lazy. But I’m smart and creative and I can research anything. My daughter is very smart but still immature in some ways.

We tried virtual learning in the Spring and it wasn’t working well at all. Part of that I’m sure is that she had a horrible teacher. Don’t misconstrue, I have a lot of respect for teachers in general and especially the work they have had to do during covid but B’s teacher was really awful. B was on the younger side and she was immature and her teacher wasn’t patient or understanding at all. She had so many accidents, I had to send her with a full second set of dry clothes every day. She wasn’t ready for kindergarten and I didn’t have choice but to put her in there but I was working full time and couldn’t afford another year of nursery school. So I drove her to school every day, hating myself the whole time but having no alternative.

Now I’m working remotely because of the pandemic. It might only be for a year, but as I have adjusted to this new normal I hope it can continue this way. It can be annoying switching back and forth but the benefits far outweigh the detriments. It’s much better for B right now. Five is too young to be in school, at least the type of sit down and shut up school she was subjected to last year. Homeschooling let’s me break it up into age-appropriate time blocks. It lets me read her and not push her past her individual limits, something classroom teachers could never do. Plus I get to spend more time with B, something I felt so deprived of last year. I’m afraid I’m falling in love with it and it may just be this one year. I need to savor every moment of this year. I got rid of some of the more rigid programs I bought already. I have to keep her on track with math and science but otherwise we are doing unit studies. I want her to learn to love learning and I think exploring things she is interested in is the way to go. I was originally going to do ancient history. We got through early man and Egypt. But I can see it’s pulling teeth. If I’m pulling a tooth it’s going to be ELA or Math. I bought the Blossom and Root third grade science and we are going to do a lot of units on her favorite animals. I’m going to do some narration with fairy tales, watching Disney movies with her. I also bought the Torchlight kindergarten to explore countries using Yum boxes, but I must remember to keep these short. I can’t get lost in making sure she learns everything, I’m going to focus on the HOME in homeschool.

Looking for a thorough, entertaining and informative, top-to-bottom explanation of Passover? Like the rest of this series, "All About Passover" (2000) by Judyth Groner and Madeline Wikler stands the test of time. It's a great book that covers everything you could possibly want to know about this holiday, and a few things you probably wouldn't think to ask! From the story of the Exodus from Egypt, to what chametz and matzah are, to why we give tzedakah (donations to charity) on Passover, it's a wonderful resource for school-aged children. Kinny Kreiswirth's illustrations have a fun retro feel about them while still being beautiful to look at. This is a great book for learning a LOT about a major Jewish celebration! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #JewishNoodlenuts #noodlenutspassover #allaboutpassover #judythgroner #madelinewikler #kinnykreiswirth #tzedakah #chametz #passover #pesach #jewishholiday #seder #sederplate #exodus #haggadah #jewishmontessori #montessorihomeschool #holidaysathome #bookstagram #jewishhomeschool #learn #learnsomethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/B-K01ddH_0r/?igshid=12rg44jf02r1u
