Update: This issue is with the printer, and we will have it in the mail next Wednesday, barring unforeseen circumstances.
One of the first things we learned that first summer after withdrawing the boys from school was that anything could be educational, and learning was quite literally…everywhere. Even so, I couldn’t get myself out of that school-at-home-rut when September rolled around. I didn’t know anything else! This is the magazine that I wish I had been able to read that first year. Full of ideas that would have helped me stay out of that rut.
So far in this issue of Learning Tangent Homeschool Magazine:
- Road tripping with Tavia Fuller Armstrong.
- Redeeming the calendar: Year around homeschooling doesn’t wreck your summer by Tina Hollenbeck. We’ve heard it, and maybe even thought it if our kids were ever in school: year around school sucks because the kids don’t get a break. Here’s the thing – with homeschooling we can break as we need to, instead of being beholden to someone else’s schedule. Year around homeschooling can be incredibly freeing, if you give it a chance!
