Just Teach Something!

That is my school battle cry motto for this year.

Too often I get all caught up in the details and make things more complicated than they need be.

Plans get made, lessons get printed, and Momma gets overwhelmed & never gets it done!

Some things are simple and just need to be taught – not with a unit study, or a workbook, or fancy diagrams – but with a few minutes of discussion and maybe some practice worksheets.

I am starting a new series oh-so-creatively called Just Teach Something. I will be posting links that will give you a simple way to slip important concepts into your busy school day.

There is no set posting schedule for now . . . I’ll share ideas as I find or use them.

To borrow an idea from FlyLady:

A topic randomly taught still educates your children!

p.s. If you are a Type-A mom, you might be shaking your head by now LOL. Just ignore this & carry on! But if you are a Type-B Homie, then you might want to stay tuned!

{Just for the record: this is not the extent of our school life – we do use real curriculum. 🙂 Hubby & I have decided that some things are not worth making our children do hours of work. We just want them to grasp the concept & move on.}
