Home Again and Next, School at Sea

Friday, August 21st, 2009

It was nice meeting and talking to so many interesting parents during the 2009 home school conferences.  I enjoyed doing all of the workshops and presentations and hope that those of you that attended were able to take home ideas and information that will help make the 2009/2010 year a good one.

Next I am off on a home school group cruise to the Caribbean, School at Sea.  It is from the 6th to the 13th of September, and I am really looking forward to it.  I am going to do several presentations and a hands on writing workshop, and then spend the rest of the cruise working on the book I am currently writing, on how to teach writing.  Maybe I will see some of you on the cruise.  Check out my schedule on the home page to link to the cruise, if you are interested.

Writing Workshop Follow-up

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I have been remiss in keeping up with my blog because of traveling throughout April and May.  I did, however, visit with the many home school parents that came to my workshops and stopped by my booth at the conferences I attended in Cincinnati, Alaska, and Texas.   The main topic of our discussions was the application of writing and language arts into their children’s curriculum in a meaningful and enjoyable way.  I kept hearing “My child hates to write, so what do I to motivate him or her?”  We all know how difficult language arts and writing are to teach, and what works for some  may not work for others, so  I hope that the answers I provided at the conferences have helped.   If you have questions about teaching and motivating your reluctant writer,  leave a comment here.

Welcome to homeschool writing blog.

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Hello to all home school parents teaching writing.  I want to offer support to anyone that has a need.  I know teaching writing is difficult and students are resistant, so I have a few ideas on how to do a better job.  I have had 30 years of experience teaching writing under my belt that includes kindergarten through eighth grade in public school, many hours tutoring students that needed help in writing, and now home schooling my own granddaughters.

Weekly I will offer a writing tip that can make your life easier,  plus answer any questions that you might have.  If I don’t know the answer to a question I will research it for you and see what I can come up with.
