Start a Homeschool Co-op from Scratch Co-ops can be frightening, especially for the parents planning them. There are people with horror stories. Then there are stories like mine – this parent’s experience with homeschool activities & clubs was vital to their children’s education. It takes forethought and some planning, but co-ops can be a positive experience for all involved! Homeschool […]
Each child has a different subject, but there is just ONE of YOU. So, how do you schedule all the subjects in a homeschool day? Here are 2 very different options! My favorite method of daily scheduling involves a stack of colored sticky notes. Sometimes I do it on the wall or cleared off table […]
A prospective homeschool mom asked, “How do you make schooling a priority while juggling littles/housework/running errands? What does it look like to teach across different ages/levels/grades?” The short answer is…it depends. Life keeps happening in and around us – is it a day when someone has a cold? Do we have too many errands, appointments […]
Toddlers are a force to be reckoned with – – especially, when you’re trying to homeschool their bigger siblings. My solution : 1. I give my youngest attention before I attempt to homeschool their older siblings. Then I know they’ve gotten the loving and cuddling and attention they need. I’ll give them something interesting to […]
I had my chore list for up to 13, but I was floundering for non-academic things I needed to teach them after 13. A friend asked me for my list with this title. (That meant I had to make one!) This will change for each kid and I’ll hopefully add many resources, but here’s my […]
I called Jenn, desperate for help, preparing my student for her upcoming high school years homeschooling. She has great insight on the requirements for high school and also great suggestions on curriculum based on the students needs. Her follow up with an email included the notes from our meeting and the additional information she promised. Very pleased with her knowledge and professionalism and will be utilizing her services throughout high school! Now I’m beyond excited for the upcoming years knowing Jenn is there to help us!
Jennifer was very encouraging and helpful in consulting with me on my daughter’s struggle with reading. She gave me lots of helpful information and insight.
Jenn is fantastic at helping you organize YOUR homeschool, not just implementing HERS in your home. When my family had some personal struggles that zapped my brain of it’s ability to function Jenn opened her co-op to my kids, shared her lesson plan layout and resource list…she took all the brain work out of the year for me. We execute plans in different ways but that is what is so beautiful about working with her……she is passionate about the TRUE essence of homeschooling which is the parents educating their children in a way that fits them. She is a walking, talking example of the best homeschool how-to book you’ll ever read!!
This has been the best help I have come upon in my homeschool adventure. Jenn has amazing insight and an enormous amount of resources and experience.
Jenn was instrumental in setting up educational goals for my children, outlining a schedule that was reasonable, and recommending curriculum for my kids (6th and kinder). She is knowledgeable and strategic in her suggestion of resources. Highly recommend!
