Last week’s week in review got overlooked in Valorie’s transfer to the baby blog. (Check it out). Therefore, this week, you will get two, two, two weeks in one. Here is what has been going on in the homeschooling blog from January 1, to January 14, 2007.
We started out the year with the 2006 in Review: Homeschooling Blog at a Glance and The 31 Most Talked About Blogs of 2006 . Still in a reflective mood, Valorie wrote Reflections on Homeschooling and Thoughts on Home schooling a Gifted Child . Constant reflection and re-evaluation in homeschooling is so important, and one of the questions you have to ask is Do you enjoy homeschooling your child?
If you haven’t noticed, I am more into the issues of homeschooling than the how-to’s. During these past weeks I wrote:
