An Office For Spreading Our Wings!

Spreading Our Wings!

It has come to the time when we need to spread our wings a bit and start to consider an office space.

With this office space we would like to offer workshops, tutoring (using local folks in the community), classes, and a place to store curriculum and science equipment that we would rent out or loan. Bookshelves

Over the past several years our numbers have grown exponentially. We are now reporting to over 50 Superintendents and working with them to provide the best homeschooling opportunity. It takes over a month to get the enrollments completed and another month to tie up the loose ends and stragglers that come on board that first month of September. We love what we do and need space to do it more efficiently and expediently.

In order to do this we need help. We keep our fees down and do not do this for a profit. We do this because we want everyone to have the opportunity to homeschool here in Maine. We want to allow you to have the best homeschooling experience possible. With our Central Maine Expo growing as well it just makes sense to have a place to spread out and organize ourselves. An office where new homeschoolers can come to meet with us and get to talk about their needs and concerns.

So, here we are 12 years down the road and very excited about the next stage in our service to you, the homeschoolers of Maine. We look forward to working with those in our community that can also lend a hand in this great work. Homeschooling is growing by leaps and bounds and we do not see it slowing down. Some families just homeschool for a year to get through a hard time and some homeschool for the long haul. Having completed the task with our three children we now have time to really put some things together and aid those that need it. We have had so many blessings and look forward to many more with your assistance and contribution, whether it be funds, prayers or time.

Thank you all for supporting us so that we may support the HOMESCHOOLERS IN MAINE.

Happy Homeschooling.

Homeschooling High School Audio

We have completed our Homeschool Your High School Student radio broadcast.

Lisa Berry and Trisha White share with you homeschooling your high school student. They cover credits, requirements, transcripts and other various topics. Clep testing and Asvab testing are some of the resources that you can use as a homeschooler.

Please note that Trisha was on the road and so there is some static noise, we apologize for that that but there was nothing that could be done about it, as you know there are sometimes when unexpected things come up and this was one of them.

You can listen here, we are going to try and clean up the audio but for now it is what it is.

We would love to have more interaction, don’t be shy, we don’t bite. 🙂

Out next show will be on Columbus Day, October 13th. We are not sure what we will be talking about yet, here is where we need your help.
What would you like us to discuss? Share here what you have a question or concern on, this is what helps make the show flow better. We would love to have you join us in the call, don’t be shy, it is just like having a conversation with someone over the phone. You can even be in your pajamas if you like. 🙂

Lisa and Trisha are veteran homeschooling moms who have a desire to help others homeschooling famailies. Lisa is currently homeschooling her boys and Trisha has graduated her three children and is now helping others. They do their best to be up on the laws and to answer questions while taking care of their families.

Learning, It’s Here!

The days of learning are about to start for most families and government schools.

Our kids are home learning while others are walking to school and getting picked up by the buses. Some may get your children up earlier some may let them sleep in, it is up to you and what works with your family.Learning
Some years we would let the children sleep until 7:30 and then get them up and start the day, it seemed like we didn’t get the bulk of it done until the buses came home in the after noon. Some years we would get them up at 6 and get the day started and then is seemed like we got so much done so early, funny how that works. The children always did better if I got them up around 6:30 and they slowly woke up and had feet on the floor by 7. They were not cranky but we still got a lot done and had plenty of time later in the day to do other stuff. I personally like to get up at 6 but did not always do that depending on what happened the night before.

So, what works for your family?

Please share your morning with us. Does getting up and starting right away work better for you? Do you do chores in the morning and then get right to learning (learning really never stops) or do you have another routine that works great for your family? What have you tried that failed? These things that you share will encourage others even the failings as you will find that many people will have done the same thing and have had it fail or they may have tweaked it a little and made it work.

Do you let your children do their learning in their pajamas or do you have a routine of being dressed when it is time? There is so much flexibility in homeschooling, embrace it and share with others your quirky, fun things that you do for your morning routine. Comment below, I look forward to seeing what you do. Happy Homeschooling!
