Hello from Illinois

Just a quick hello to everyone here, I am new and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Melissa and I guess the most important thing people should know about me is that I am a work at home mother and I homeschool.

 

Where in Illinois are you? I'm in the Chicagoland area (South suburban area) and we homeschool our 2 boys as well.

 

:wave and welcome to MG's Melissa..

Welcome to Major Geeks, Melissa. Glad to see you here. :cool

 

I actually live not far from chicago, about 2 hours south in Normal. It great to have something in common with another person on the forum, I love being a homeschool parent and my daughter has benefitted SO much from it.

 

Same here, and glad to hear it. What curriculum do you use if any. We use CLASS and are very grateful for their materials and structure.

 

Thanks for the link. Currently we dont have a set curriculum. We freestyle our homeschooling as much as possible. We are always working on the basics like math, science, reading ect... but we usually try to stick to one subject at a time. Last week we were learning about Dinosaurs so all of the work we did revolved around dinosaurs, even the math...

 

Sounds like you have the gift of teaching we wish we had! We would be completely lost trying it on our own like you are.-D

 

Welcome to MGs Melissa! Glad to have you here.
