Homeschool Philosophy & Practice
We have a relaxed approach to early years education. Although our basic philosophy remains the same we are just now moving into the middle years with our oldest. High school is years away but we plan to homeschool through those years as well.
But what does this look like on a daily basis? This page is a sampling of posts that provide everyday examples to the why's and how's of our particular homeschooling experience. Please see FIMBY Homeschool for reading lists and resources divided by subject.
