According to statistics, homeschooling in the United States has increased 74% in the last eight years.
Why? We do not believe that it is because of a lack of faith in our public school systems as much as it is a growing desire to see MORE education and more focus on real issues that will eventually effect the home.
We have toured this country for many years teaching and presenting in thousands of schools and have addressed not only hundreds of thousands of school students but their very concerned parents. Disaster preparedness is always an issue that raises more questions than it provides answers. How do I teach it to my children without frightening them? How do I deal with the tough issues after a disaster? Do I allow my kids to see the news of current disasters? How do I involve them in our planning?
We have found that the world of disaster preparedness is a wide world of educational opportunity filled with science, history, social science, mathematics and literature. It is through this new blog that we intend to provide those tips, stories and insights that we have shared as we toured. Stay tuned here for programs, guides and curriculum additions as well.

HOT HOT HOT


Yuk. Last week we were near the New Mexico border and could not believe how warm it was. It was hard to believe that after spending a week near the mountains that there was such a temperature difference. Heat is definitely a large part of the summer months, and now is the time to educate your homeschoolers about heat and safety. you can visit our KRVN blog today for tips on summer heat safety or visit www.cdc.gov

Meanwhile, I found a cool little experiment on Solar heating you can do at home! CLICK HERE

The "cool" thing about this experiment is that you get to use ICE CUBES!!!
