Neat Idea

Some folks in Illinois have come up with something new: a “homeschool-along.” Sounds similar to the kind of group artist and composer studies that take place at Ambleside Online and 4 Real Learning. From the Homeschool-Along site:

A monthly topic will be picked and we will all homeschool along. The first topic is China/Chinese in honor of Chinese New Year. Anytime you do something about the topic or find something cool about the topic, share it right here.

E. B. White, Blogger?

Michael at Family School is reading a book of essays by the author of Charlotte’s Web, and here’s what he has to say about it:

Lately I’ve been reading One Man’s Meat by E.B. White. I’ve decided this book is a blog from a time before blogs.

Since I consider even (Strunk and) White’s grammar text, The Elements of Style, to be pleasure-reading, One Man’s Meat is definitely going to the top of my must-read pile.

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
