Math and Science or Baking LEGO-Cookies

Who would have thought, that doing math could be so much fun! Well, eating the results certainly was ;-)

We did bake some cookies - from scratch of course - today. And since so many numbers and reactions are involved I decided that this joyful activity could be as well a lesson on measuring, adding, comparing etc. I just have to find the correct terms to match the curriculum and - voila - 2 hours are added to our tracking system.

I wish I could post some pictures, but my 'point and shoot' doesn't work anymore - I have to wait for Santa...

Homeschooling it is

Finally, the decision is made!

We thought about the option of homeschooling for a long time, weighed the pros and cons. For now it seems to be the best solution for our family, especially for our son.

We're looking forward!

I hope I can keep this post current. Supposedly it should help learning from our adventure or everyone who's asking themselves as well: "Is homeschooling right for me, for our family?!"
"Is homeschooling for free really possible?"

Good luck to all of us ;-)
