Hi, I'm Lisa and this is my son Jesse! We have been on this homeschool adventure for two years full time.

We are a secular, academically oriented family and borrow eclectically from many different styles and philosophies of homeschooling.

Thanks for stopping by!
Here are some of our recent projects and posts.

Writing – My son requested to read thru his freewrites at breakfast this morning. We were laughing hysterically and enjoying his work. Then he wrote a new story! I’m so happy that he’s wanting to write on his own initiative! . Afterwards, I started typing up my son’s stories. There’s a whole collection with the same group of silly characters, and I think it would make a cute book! . We started Freewrite Friday in the fall and there was a long stretch where my son just wanted to dictate nonsense syllables, song lyrics, or random words (“bonk bonk stinker”) We kept going and one day he had a story idea. The nonsense words read like extremely silly poetry, and that’s fine too! . #bravewriter #bravewriterlifestyle #jotitdown #homeschoolwriting #writingforfun #storywriting #secularhomeschool #secularhomeschooling #havefunlearning #writingabook

Homeschool week in review… all in all, a good week! The standout for me was having multiple field trips for our unit study, expanding from subways into our local bus system. . Not pictured: planning out our garden! I’ll probably swap something out for our upcoming garden unit in a week or two. . How was your week? . #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoollife #secularhomeschool #secularhomeschooling #secularhomeschoolers #365homeschool #homeschoolweekinreview

Space exploration – combining our glow on the dark stars and glow sticks with space toys and a map of Mars. The SpaceX Crew Dragon mission inspired this playtime – we enjoy watching launches and landings! . Space was one of our preschool unit studies, and it continues to be one of our favorite topics. . This is an older Mars map – out of date by now, I’m sure. I’ll be on the hunt for an updated one the next time we do a space unit study! . #playtolearn #homeschool #homeschooling #unitstudy #homeschoolfun #homeschoolkindergarten #secularhomeschool #istherelifeonmars
