I’ve also learned over the past six months on how much can
collected with the amount of worksheets being piled up and running out space to
store them. This will reduce some of the clutter as well as reduce our spending
for curriculum. We have invested in so much just to get started that we later
found it didn’t fit. We started off with textbooks and this was a struggle to
get through because they became board quickly. We then moved to notebookingpages that I created, but were more like questions and it made them feel like
they were being tested all the time. We moved onto lapbooking and found they
really enjoyed it, but didn’t like all the cutting. Now I do most of the
cutting, but leave a couple of pages for them to cut so they still improve
their cutting skills.
So, after all of this, learning my children’s likes and
dislikes we have learned a lot about one another. We will continue with
lapbooks, add the new way of notebooking, which includes math notebooking as
well. It seems to amaze me that math can be fun for them as well as me because it
was a huge struggle with math for us. Since finding Notebook Fairy, it has been
wonderful experience for all of us. I would definitely recommend notebooking
for all new homeschoolers. This would definitely
reduce many struggles we all overcome after a few months or longer for those
who find out later. I know for me it was a struggle at first, learn later, and
will do it all over again because homeschool is so rewarding with the struggles
and the quality time with my children that I wouldn’t get having my children in
the public school system. I can now say that my children will be well educated
individual now and as they get older. This allows them to reach their potential
above and beyond.
