2nd Grader's Summer Reading List

We moved the TV out of the family room in preparation for starting The Robinson Curriculum this coming school year. So we're trying to fill as much time as possible with reading good books.

I'm so glad our 2nd grader is at the independent reading stage and she loves getting lost in these stories.

Can Anyone Home School?

I've been reading some of the information on the Robinson Curriculum Website and listening to the audio seminar.  One of the interesting questions addressed in the seminar is Can anyone home school?  I'd be interested to hear what others think of this. The link I referenced is only an audio snippet of the entire video workshop.  Another part I especially like is the Vocabulary and the Value of Auditory Learning.

The information on the Robinson Curriculum Website is very intriguing and reading it, reminds me of the time I spent combing through the Teaching the Trivium website 2 years ago.  The audio seminars on that site were what helped Jeoff and I make the final decision that we were going to make the big move and become a home schooling family.

These sites are both very challenging but make such valid points that it's almost impossible not to adopt some portion of what is shared.  They're sites that actually will either make you lean very far in their favor, or make you come up with several cons against them!!!
