TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been homeschooling my two kids for over 7 years now (pre-k counts too right?!) And I just love it! Currently, we are learning Latin, Algebra, Decimals, Grammar, Modern History, and Physical Science together. For logic, I love to give my kids puzzles. Word puzzles, logic puzzles, math puzzles...all of those and more! When the puzzles ran out, I started writing my own! Now I'm having fun writing puzzles for all grade levels. My kids solve them and check them for me, even the puzzles for little kids (which they get a kick out of too!) Sometimes, they even contribute ideas for new puzzles and clip art drawings. They are the best! I hope you enjoy the puzzles we have come up with here at our homeschool! For more info about me and my puzzles, check out my blog!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to use the classical approach to education and follow Susan Wise Bauer's "The Well-Trained Mind".
