At the Forum: Classical Education, Noisy Toys, and Picky Eaters

Posted by admin | 0 comments

The year is coming to a close so fast! In my neck of the woods it is currently 10 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -1. Perfect weather to homeschool during the days and snuggle up near a fire with a warm blanket and a drink at night. I have noticed that my kids have lost their focus as the closer Christmas approaches. This is where the forum becomes such a great resource and support for me. Here is a few conversations you may find there:

• At any age picky eaters are hard to deal with. How about a toddler with finicky ways? Do you have any ideas to help this member?
• We are curious about your favorite resources for Classical teaching. Do you have a favorite website, book or resource that you use?
• With Christmas around the corner, what is your opinion on noisy toys? Are you the giver or a receiver of one?
• How many pages do you recommend to someone who is new to notebooking?
• Are you doing a Bible study with someone? What type of things do you do to prepare for it? Would love some tips!
• This month Heart of the Matter focused on Special Needs in their ezine. Here at the Forum we have a great place for you to start discussions about Special Needs.
