There are SO many great ideas, activities, video clips, tutorials, etc. out there right now. New ones every moment! I find myself enthusiastic about so many of them! In the middle of my bookmarking and list making, I started to feel overwhelmed with the sheer volume of ideas. Even though there are a million good things to do online, I don't need to do them all. Today, I shut the computer. We made muffins. We read many books. We took a long walk in the misty rain. We did some seed starting. The internet is grand, but it's not the most important. When I look back on our day today, the parts we connected best of all had nothing to do with screens. Although I admire and encourage those who organize and plan great activities, I don't need to pressure myself to keep up. Sometimes just being available for non scripted dialogue leads to the best lessons.
Homeschooling, a wee bit of advice

Yes ma'am! No screen necessary!
