Lesson Planning

Why I'm Starting This Blog

I'm coming up on my "year-mark" of being a new mom.  My life has drastically changed and for the better.  I loved teaching 1st grade and I loved my little students when I was teaching in the schools, but now my attention has shifted to my growing family.

I'm watching my daughter as she learns something new every day and I'm realizing that I get to be the "engineer" of my home.  I choose what we do every day (for better or worse) and now that I've had time to settle into my new role of motherhood, I'm ready to begin more of a loosely "planned" program with her.

One of the most important things I learned as an education was to "Have a Plan" and so I've decided to start planning themed units for me and my daughter.  I'll be posting/sharing them on this blog as well as how educating my family changes as they grow older.

Please use whatever materials/ideas/suggestions I post to help your children learn and I'm always open to comments and suggestions!  I'm excited to begin this adventure in "home-schooling" my children (you can check my about me page if you want more info about that).
