		<description><![CDATA[Last month I told you that you didn&#8217;t need sparkles to be an awesome arts and crafts facilitator. So, if you don&#8217;t need sparkles*, then what do you need? A lot less then you might think and I will show you why. I&#8217;m hoping to use this space to showcase an artist each month, with some ideas for activities to explore their ideas more. I really want to keep things simple and accessible to all, so I&#8217;m hoping that more of the materials that you need will be laying around your house. If not, everything should be easily found  for &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.homeschoolhorizons.ca/so-what-do-i-really-need/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are homeschooling moments that we want desperately to share because they&#8217;re real and they&#8217;re funny, but quite possibly, they&#8217;re not entirely appropriate. Well, here I am, Captain Courageous, and all too frequently, the Queen of Inappropriate. Because sometimes, it just needs to be real to encourage other people that real &#8230;. happens. Like with my daughter&#8217;s math lesson today. I&#8217;ve been working dayshift, leaving and marking assignments, but Caroline got stuck two days ago. She was cycling through review exercises in Algebra in preparation for a test, and said she didn&#8217;t know what to do.

		<description><![CDATA[This story was written by Kathleen, my chicken whisperer, as her brother calls her, last summer. We have learned a great deal about raising chickens since then, although we know there is still much to learn, so please understand our novice ways as seen in this story. Kathleen has since learned how to get chickens to go where she wants them, and we all marvel at the ease with which she can catch and pick up even the most stubborn in the flock. The chickens have learned to stay close to (or inside) the barn when it rains. I hope &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.homeschoolhorizons.ca/prudences-adventure/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s occurred to me that there might be the impression that because I call myself a Stealth Schooler that I might not have a strong foundation. I mean, after all, I am guilty of making up my own terminology &#8211; but then, why not? But there is method to my madness, if you will. I spend countless hours (no, really, COUNTLESS!) researching and learning about different educational philosophies. I’ve studied the Classical Method, Charlotte Mason’s teachings, the Thomas Jefferson Mentoring model to name a few. I’ve taken aspects of my Stealth Schooling mindset from each of these.

		<description><![CDATA[A simple picture narration lesson that involved looking at a picture and answering questions about it lead us down bunny trails of math and art. It all started with the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday on La Grande Jatte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:A_Sunday_on_La_Grande_Jatte,_Georges_Seurat,_1884.jpg and some background information provided about the painting&#8217;s size and how it was painted. We did the picture narration lesson, looking at the picture and answering the questions, but then we went exploring. Our first little bunny trail involved some math. I wanted to give my daughter an idea of the size of the painting. We got out the measuring &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.homeschoolhorizons.ca/bunny-trails-a-picture/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we made a decision to buy a house which meant we had a week to get our house ready and if you have ever sold a home you know how much work that actually is. It is an exhausting time of endless painting, cleaning, and finishing those little jobs that really should have been done earlier. My children are such troupers they all were willing to pull together and help get the jobs done. Truthfully, they also enjoyed having more free time, screen time, and a few extra play dates too.

		<description><![CDATA[I keep two significant links on my Internet Explorer “Favourites” list.  They appear one right after the other:  “Stop Hiring High School Dropouts” and “Stop stealing Dreams”. The first link is five years old, but I keep it as a reminder of the thing that I’m trying to avoid: the tendency to blindly conform to a system.  The article is about a speech given by the Minister of Education to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.  The Minister makes a case for encouraging teenagers to finish high school, arguing that in the long term they need their education.  Such an exhortation &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.homeschoolhorizons.ca/stop/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
