Balancing Roles

February 16, 2015 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Balancing Roles @mylearningtable.com

Being Mom When You’re the Teacher When your kids are little, your role as mom is intertwined with your role as teacher. From birth, your kids are learning as you are teaching them EVERYTHING. Even before homeschooling “officially” begins, you are already established as your kids’ teacher – you teach them how to walk, talk, […]

5 Ways to Chase Away the January Blues

January 2, 2015 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Beat the January blues @mylearningtable.com

It seems to be a well-known phenomenon among homeschool moms that the “January blues” settle in shortly after the holidays. Feelings of not being as far along as we wanted to be can become overwhelming, and the “shorter” days and yucky weather seem to add to the stress. Just knowing that I’m not the only one […]

Aiming for Mastery

November 24, 2014 by Anne Campbell 4 Comments

It isn’t easy to let go of the feeling that you have to complete this or that, or that you have to check this or that box in the plan book. It is also a struggle when you have the feeling that you’re behind if you haven’t reached a certain chapter in the book by now. Believe me, I get it.

This time of year, many homeschool moms start discussing mastery.How do you know when students have mastered a subject and are ready to move on to the next level? Some experts recommend that you complete at least 75% of a textbook to consider it credit-worthy. But, what if you don’t use a textbook? Or, what […]

How to Shop a Homeschool Convention

April 11, 2014 by Anne Campbell 1 Comment

The homeschool convention vendor hall is full of eye-candy, isn’t it? In my opinion, it’s a lot more fun than the mall! After reading homeschool catalogs and pondering the best products for our family, it is a real treat to get to touch and look through materials and speak with the vendors in person. My […]

Homeschooling When Life Gets in the Way

February 24, 2014 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

#homeschooling @mylearningtable.com

The reality of our homeschool is that learning and life are integrated, and we do not recreate a classroom setting or schedule to achieve educational goals. Learning happens, and life happens. Whenever challenges present themselves, both big and small, we regroup when necessary and adapt. I think that the ability to adapt is one of […]
