What are you Learning?

This past week at DozenAcre we hosted a back to school workshop.  For two days our doors were open to homeschooling moms to come in and discuss what they are doing in their schools, what they want to be doing, and how they are going to accomplish their goals.  While here they have access to the internet, a copier, and other office supplies that they can use to gather their materials together with.  Our discussion veered toward art this year, but all of the main participants came hoping to get excited for the new year and also to gain some insight on how to make their schooling more fun.  My hope is that they left feeling as though they accompished their goals here.  We discussed many ways to make your school fun, and even incorporated a lot of art into that, and we all left excited to try out what we had learned.

This is the second year for such a workshop.  It has been small, but very beneficial.  We hope to be able to offer two such open door workshops a year.  One in August before the start of school, and one in January to help bring everyone out of Christmas vacation.  If you are interested in learning more feel free to leave a comment or  just check back to see the details on our Winter workshop.  If you are interested in joining in the fun and seeing some of the things that we learned you can check out the discussion board to ask your own questions or see what others are learning.

Homeschool workshops are based on this question:  What are you learning in your school this year? Want to know what we are learning?  I just might share a little of our brainstorming genius this fall so stay tuned!
