Adding Poetry to Your Homeschool- Why? and How?
Adding Poetry to Your Homeschool- Why? and How? Poetry… Honestly? Not something I ever imagined would be quite this big into our homeschool. I grew up on simple nursery rhymes, and other rhyming poetry such as Dr. Seuss. I love rhymes, and I love books that rhyme! But that was where my fascination stopped.

Now, the way she talks about it is along with Poetry Tea Time. So back in 2019- my kids and I dove DEEP into poetry…

But, if you are like me, and want to be that loosey goosey but CAN’T- well then, this is for you. I went to school to become a teacher. Is that training necessary for homeschooling? Absolutely not. They didn’t teach me to homeschool, more how to manage a classroom along with some general education. BUT what I did learn was where to look for “standards” that public schools use across the country. Because I live in a SUPER low regulation homeschool state,…
