~ In Memory of Precious Little Wren ~
I was all set to do a St. Patrick's Day themed carnival, but the events of the week have changed my mind. As I am on the other side of raising my kids, I am so thankful to have had the privilege of raising them and more so to be actively involved in the lives of my grandchildren. We take so much for granted, especially life itself.
A week ago today, a precious little baby boy was born to my son's boss and his wife, their first born child. A mere 6 hours later, sweet little Wren breathed his last breath. We don't know why. My heart breaks for this young couple. It was hard on my son and his wife to attend the services, especially since they're expecting a baby too.
As we mourn the loss of precious little Wren, whom we never met, we reflect on our own precious children and grandchildren. I am so thankful for each and every one of them. I can't imagine life without them. I've invited them to tag along to the carnival so you can meet them. As you meet my grandchildren today, I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on the precious children in your life. Leave a comment and share what's special about each of your children.
Meet the Huy Family
My oldest daughter, Julee is married to Tony Huy. They have 5 children and are expecting their 6th next month, another girl to be named Hosanna.
Our first stop at the carnival is to Boarding in Bedlam. In The Carnival of Anti-homeschooling, Arby takes a look at what non-homeschoolers have to say about our practice.
As home educators, we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that we are not providing everything that our children really "need". Tiana Krenz reflects on What Kids Really Need posted at God Made, Home Grown.
In Chronicle of a Struggling Learner, Carrie of The Homeschool Regel outlines the reasons one mom opted for homeschooling and how she hopes to approach it with her struggling learner.
Meet Timothy, age 11: Timothy is my oldest grandchild. He's very smart and strong in Math like his father. He loves to play video games, ride his skateboard, and get away with whatever he can.

Join the hunt for bees by participating in "The Great Sunflower Project." This year you'll have to provide your own seeds, but it will still be a fun project. Plant your sunflowers in a pot or in your garden. By watching and recording the bees at the sunflowers in your garden, you can help the experts understand the challenges that bees are facing.
This is a great family activity and a natural way to learn science in your own backyard. Your children can plant the seeds and take care of them. They can observe the behavior of bees at the flowers, recording and reporting the data. By participating in the project, your child can get a first hand experience of how scientists work.

I received the cutest email this morning obviously from a student in distress:
"I go to school, but do you think you can can homeschool me online by sending me email messages and I will send them back...please, please please, please, please."
My response:
"I wish I could homeschool you, but that's not how it works. Your parents do the homeschooling. You should talk to your parents if you'd like to be homeschooled. I don't know your situation, but one parent would have to be home and do the teaching.
If homeschooling doesn't work out, let me encourage you to do your best in school. I know it's hard to imagine now, but honestly, your life will be better later on if you do what you need to do now. Even if you have to stay in school, talk to your parents and share your concerns and frustrations with them. I'm sure they love you and would welcome the chance to help you do well.
Good luck to you. Let me know what happens."
I enjoy hearing from students. I really would homeschool this child if I could, but homeschooling other people's children falls under tutoring and not homeschooling and is a whole different ballgame legally. Each state has laws governing homeschooling and tutoring, so if you wanted to do something like this, you'd have to check the laws for your state.
Do you homeschool other people's children? What requirements do you have to fulfill to do so legally in your state? How does this work for you and for the students? Share your story.
