As Per A Few Friends’ Suggestions
Friday, February 27th, 2009
A friend of mine recently asked if I was ever planning on creating a website that contained all the various classes or unit studies or lesson plans I put together for others to be able to refer back to or use themselves. I told her that I wanted to get a great deal of that up on my home education blog at some point, but just hadn’t gotten there quite yet. Well, that discussing has motivated me a bit and I am now slowly but surely working on it. I’ve now created this page to serve as the parent page for any class or lesson plan outlines I write myself. It has a few items on there and I am working on fleshing them out, although they may not be done until this summer. After that, I hope to stay current with it as I create and field test new ideas over time. I’ve also created this page to assemble other people’s learning materials I feel are especially well suited to the lower elementary aged accelerated learner (often a challenging kiddo to provide quality, yet appropriate materials for.) Again, this page is also under construction and will hopfully continue to grow over the next few months.
Also– for a different friend, I am working on another post I hope to have up in the next week or two which will be an annotated reading list for folks with young gifted children who are looking to self-educate in an effort to decide what path to take with their children. I, obviously, have a bias towards home education, which I do not try to hide. But this list may benefit those looking to negotiate an institutional school system with a gifted child also. So keep an eye out for that, as well as a few more things like my random musings on bad educational philosophy, Artemis and Apollo’s latest adventures in children’s literature study or how to start your own homeschool community in your corner of the world. ‘Cause it’s not like I’m busy or anything.
