She is so very different from our eldest son (who is just like me), so teaching her has been such a challenge. I'm glad it's not just me.<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864774664374905238.post-24105336600173592362011-11-05T15:53:14.031-05:002011-11-05T15:53:14.031-05:00I am not sure what my leaning style is .

I guess it is safe to say that I am not acommodating anyone, but maybe we all have the same learning style, and that is why it hasn't been an issue.<br /><br />Don't give up! You and the unnamed child can figure this out! :)Roanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267573890805062760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864774664374905238.post-13377521584930008862011-11-05T13:56:32.097-05:002011-11-05T13:56:32.097-05:00I set up our homeschool with my goals in mind and ...I set up our homeschool with my goals in mind and how I think we can best make it work. We have four kids and are expecting two more through adoption this year, so I've been thinking alot about how to teach my group while keeping my sanity and feeling joyfull throughout the day. I think homeschooling is very challenging and it has huge rewards. Our homeschool is a mix of literature based learning, notebooking (history), textbooks, and memory work we recite together. I guess I don't accomodate my kids individual learning styles but I do adjust their work load if I see they need extra practice on a concept. <br />Hope that helps and praying for your homeschool.Dustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311014900751708025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864774664374905238.post-21350411907463872332011-11-04T15:28:43.332-05:002011-11-04T15:28:43.332-05:00I'm not a visual learner, but I have children ...I'm not a visual learner, but I have children who are (or are tactile learners).<br /><br />One day I was talking about my dilemma when my father said, "Kimberly, they need to learn to learn via words because, 'faith comes by hearing and hearing from the Word of God'" That has stuck with me.<br /><br />So, while we do take into consideration our children's learning strengths and weaknesses (and shape letters of clay and draw pictures), we all push toward a better understanding of words, since that is the form that God chose for His revelation.<br /><br />I'm not sure that this is one of my strengths, but if you'd like to talk more about it, feel free to email me. <br /><br />I'm loving all the pictures of the kids in your recent posts.Kimberly @ Raising Oliveshttp://raisingolives.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864774664374905238.post-21814636303334360682011-11-03T15:32:03.593-05:002011-11-03T15:32:03.593-05:00Celee, I have felt exactly the same way about one ...Celee, I have felt exactly the same way about one of mine in recent weeks and am considering enrolling him in as many paid classes next year as we can afford. Let's pray for each other! A little advice for the visual learner- try graphic organizers. Here's a link to some ideas. http://www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/<br />I also make a lot of charts and word lists that I post around the house. Not elaborate...just with colored Sharpies and poster board or construction paper. We put up an inexpensive dry erase board, and visual kid and I write a lot of info there, too. That seems to be the key- giving him lots of visual reminders and representations that help him organize and rehearse info.homeschooldawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597041122394558244noreply@blogger.com
