I'm Melissa and this is my second year of home schooling. I have a 10th grade boy and two 7th grade girls home schooling this year. (The girls are not twins, the oldest was held back in 1st grade)

My 10th grader has ADHD and my oldest daughter has ADHD and Tourette Syndrome with some mild symptoms of OCD.

Both my husband and I grew up in public schools, except for one semester of 8th grade where I spent at a Christian school founded by Tim LaHaye. My oldest son went to a Christian school from 4th to one month of 8th grade, then he went to the public Jr. High for the rest of 8th. We prayed about it and asked for forgiveness for not home schooling him the rest of that year. That was one of the biggest mistakes we have ever made, but it was also a huge lesson in learning what we do and don't want for our kids. I'd rather my son not have an education at all then to go back there. And we even live in one of the best school districts on the state of Wisconsin.



MrsDC -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (10/11/2006 8:47:19 PM)

I'm Rebecca and we're in our 10th year of homeschooling.

Our kids are: 13dd, 12ds, 10ds, 10ds (twins), almost 9ds, and almost 8dd.

We are full time missionaries in Sinaloa, Mexico, and have been here since Feb. '06. Planning on being here for ????

Wouldn't trade having my kids at home for ANYTHING!!!



DeannasWorld -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (11/26/2006 10:40:21 PM)

Hello my name is Deanna I have 4 wonderful children. My oldest is 12, #2 is 10, #3 is 8 and # 4 is my only girl she is 5. I started homeschooling after I found out I had cancer. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my children. By God's wonderful mercey I am still here 5 years later healthy and loving every moment I homeschool my children.[:)]. I have been homeschooling for 5 years, I use whatever books my children like. Mostly Mc Graw Hill. I will homeschool until graduation. But my second son keeps asking me to school him through college.[sm=gradsmile.gif] Thanks for you time...



pianomeister -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (12/14/2006 2:19:13 PM)



Hello my name is Tammy, I have an 8 year old that I homeschool. I also have 5 other children. Three have graduated from brick and mortar schools, and 2 are in there last year of high school in the public schools. I saw a deterioratoin of values in the school. I began seeing a push to promote homosexual lifestyles, and way too much acceptance of bad behaviour, so I chose to stay home and home school this child. This is my fourth year, and I am always looking for new ways of making school more exciting. .



DDMGeorge -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (4/2/2007 4:13:02 PM)

Hey my name is Diana, I have a 11 year old daughter. Me and my husband are finishing up CDL classes and plan to be on the road soon. We are researching all homeschool sites to get as much info as possible since we will be schooling our daughter while on the road. Any good info on where to start?



Taylortots -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (4/6/2007 2:31:49 AM)

Hello, My name is Azure. I currently homeschool my 4 year old and will homeschool my 2 year old in the future. Right now I use eworkbooks, unit studies and mixtures of other things. My husband and I agree strongly with our decision to homeschool even though my family is against us[:'(] . I also work fulltime as a phlebotomist in our local hospital lab. I have enjoyed my homeschooling experience thus far[:D].



rubinski -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (4/11/2007 3:31:57 PM)

Hello there,

My name is Shannon. I am homeschooling our 6.5 yob and our 4.5 yog all the while trying to keep our 2 yog occupied! We use My Father's World curriculum as well as a myriad of other resources. I really identify with the Charlotte Mason methods.

Homeschooling is something both my dh and I feel called to do...although sometimes (like the end of a long cold snowy winter trapped indoors 24/7 with three little ones) wanting to do it is hard for me. [:)]

We have been unofficially homeschooling since our oldest was born...always reading to him and answering his questions with real answers and not just something to make him stop asking! LOL! It is something I hope to do for a long time.

Shannon



AFIE -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/1/2007 10:02:46 AM)

Hi
Some of you I've met from the post I made for help.

I'm Tricia, aka Trish. We have 4 sons B- 13, T-11, A-5 and A-2 (3 next month)
Our older two boys we only have in the summer. Things really get rowdy around here then.
We will begin our hs journey in Sep probably. We're taking the whole summer off to goof off and connect. Alex has been in prek for 2 yrs so he needs some goof off time and time with mom and dad.
I'm blessed with a wonderful husband! We all have lots of fun together.

I am so grateful for finding this site. Everyone's been wonderful!



Cawfee -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/1/2007 6:16:48 PM)

My name is Christine and we are starting to homeschool our children in the Fall. I have 8 year old twin boys, a six year old boy, and a three year old boy. We are really excited to start!



inhim67 -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/10/2007 10:34:25 PM)

Hi Fritz!

Thanks for doing this again. I've been out of comission for awhile due to illness, and then my dd was ill. We're dealing with a lot here right now, but pushing forward.

Anyway...an introduction: I'm a single mom of one darling teen. I've been homeschooling for going on 10 years now. What is that about?! [;)] Really...I wouldn't trade it for the world! I've been so blessed to be able to do this and cherish every moment of it.

Hopefully, I'll be able to become more active in the group. Thanks for all you do Fritz. Let me now if you need anything else to keep us active. Thanks again!



OKBound -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/23/2007 5:17:16 PM)

Hi everyone! I used to lurk a few years ago on this forum, but decided it was time to join.
We are in North TX right now, but as my id states, we are moving to OK as soon as we sell our house here in TX.

I have wanted to homeschool even before my husband and I were married. I have a 3 1/2 yog that is very strong willed and very active. I couldn't imagine putting her in a formal school setting. I really love the Charlotte Mason method with the short lessons, lots of time outside to burn off the energy, and reading lots of good books.

My DH and I went to our first HS conference and bookfair together this month in Arlington, TX (I have been to two conferences before in Plano,TX). He has always agreed to homeschooling, but this was a chance to for him to really dive into it and the opportunity to hear Douglas Phillips twice (different sessions). He is really fired up about it and understands that his role is very crucial and not a token one.



pearl1960 -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/24/2007 5:04:12 PM)

Hello!

I am Judy. I have been homeschooling for 6 years. I only have one child left at home now. He is sixteen (and a sweetie). We started out in public school. If I had to do it over, I would have homeschooled from the beginning.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!



BarbBlessed -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (5/27/2007 11:22:15 AM)

Hi,

I'm Barb and I've been lurking here for a few months, but finally decided to sign up and officially get to know you. [:)]

My husband and I have homeschooled our 15 year old daughter for all but grade 4. We started out homeschooling because we didn't think she was up to the long school bus ride (over an hour each way) when it was time for kindergarten. Childhood cancer and all that involves kept us homeschooling until she begged to go to school with her friends and cousins in grade 4. We loved the Christian school and it was a good year for Joanna, but by the end of the year we were eager to go back to homeschooling - it just works best for our family.

This winter my 16 year old niece moved in with us. She's not a strong student and has been struggling socially and academically at school for the past few years. She wanted to homeschool even before she moved in, but we kept her at the Christian school partly because we weren't sure how long she'd be with us, and partly because I wasn't sure I'm up to the challenge of homeschooling her.

Jessica is with us to stay though, and a few weeks ago things fell apart at school, so she's finishing the year at home using their materials. The school has been great, they've agreed to let her make up work over the summer. We've registered with the state to homeschool her next year, but really want her full credits for this past year - so we'll be working all summer.

Jess is a great kid, and we're blessed to have her with us. She's got a very different temperament from my daughter though and working with her is a whole new ball game for me! [sm=eek.gif]
I'm terrified in some ways, but also looking forward to the challenge.
I look forward to getting to know each of you better, too!

Barb



sarahtobe -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (6/4/2007 11:33:01 PM)

Hello,
I have six children and have been homeschooling them all along. I look forward to being a part of this group.



mominoh -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (6/17/2007 9:37:12 PM)

Hello, My name is Meg and I homeschool our 16 yod and 13yod. We began homeschooling 3 years ago after many years in Christian school. I taught elementary school for 16 years. I use a mix of curriculums. Most of the time I spend in the car driving my 16 yod to ballet classes. Homeschooling has allowed her to focus on her passion.



mom2six -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (6/21/2007 1:53:59 AM)

Hello, my name is Kelli. I am a newbie to homeschooling! We are pulling my 9 yog & 6 yog out of the public school & are going to homeschool! We also have a 3 yr old that I will be doing PreK things with! I have an 18 yog that just graduated & a 15 (on the 23rd) yob that wants to stay in the public school. He will finish his 10th grade then wants to do PSEO. I have looked over a few curriculumns & am very excited to start! The girls are very excited to do their schooling at home too! I am also curious to see how well my 2nd grader will do. She has several disabilities & was declining in grades the end of the school year.



CarolSR -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (6/27/2007 9:05:19 AM)

My name is Carol Reynolds and I live in Greenfield, Indiana. This will be my first year homeschooling my 10 yos.

helpmeetmommy -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (7/25/2007 11:53:32 PM)

[:)] Hi All! I am Helpmeet Mommy (Kara!) and have three precious little gifts from God - 1, 3 and 5 yo daughters whom we will be homeschooling this year for the first time, 'officially' We are claiming RE and I'd love to converse with others using this 'option' though I know it's technically not a 'homeschool' option as such!

I am glad to be here! Looking forward to getting started...yet we will not be homeschooling as many others would consider homeschooling....don't know exactly what we call it ;) but we'll be doing a lot just during our homekeeping day and serving our awesome daddy (and my dh) and learning in that process ;) I'd like to get my hands on some Rod and Staff materials if anyone has any they are done with for 1st grade (or their 'pre' stuff!)

Thanks all!
Looking forward to all this and meeting new folk like us!
Kara



helpmeetmommy -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (7/25/2007 11:57:15 PM)

OH I SO WANT TO CHAT WITH YOU!
I have a 5 yo, 3 yo and 1 yo all girls;) and would love to see how you get things accomplished! LOL! I'm in VA...you anywhere close by chance??[:D]

Hi, all, I'm Katrina, Navy wife to Carl and we are currently home-preschooling our 4 1/2 year old and 3 year old daughters. I also have a 1 year old daughter that runs around like a monkey in the meantime. ;) We are using Weaver Interlock and we like it a lot. We like to do projects and unit studies and have been schooling year around.



Mommabearx4 -> RE: Crosswalk Homeschool Support Group Roll Call (7/26/2007 2:51:01 AM)

Hey yall,
My name is Shelly. I am a Marine wife & former Marine Brat. And my handle is Mommabearx4 (til I think of something more creative) My dh dubbed me mommabear (needless to say he is papabear) when kiddos started arriving as I have collected teddy bears "my whole life." -- 4 indicates how many blessings we have received in 7 yrs of marriage (Jul 99).

Ds#1 (almost 7) & Dd#1 (almost 5) arrived in Aug 2 yrs & 1 day apart!
Ds#2 (turned 2 in June) arrived 2 wks early (short of 9 mos since dh returned from Afghanistan...ugh people actually questioned us!!)
Dd#2 (7 mos today) is our Christmas miracle (only a month early but decided breathing was optional...eek, doing well now on that, just not growing/gaining wt...)

Although we have only been officially home schooling since oldest turned 5, I really feel we have been @ it for almost 7 yrs. To live is to learn. We try to make every day & every thing a learning experience. After all, God called us to home schooling, then started blessing us w/ kiddos.

My mom instilled a zest for learning in me so I love home schooling. I love been blessed to spend all day w/ my kiddos. I love watching my kiddos learn & discover. I enjoy watching their personalities develop.

My biggest stressor is that I am missing something I am supposed to be teaching them--we have an awesome church, but many of the ladies there are elementary ed teachers. I wonder what if they question me on home schooling & think I am failing my kiddos in an area??

I am still learning my kiddos learning styles & am in the throes of making decisions for next year. so I am excited to have found this place to learn. I have been getting the newsletters for over a yr. I never realized crosswalk had forums. Yippee
