Fun Day of Homeschooling Socialization

Homeschoolers in Longmont had socialization issues on Friday. Too much socialization. Well, can there ever really be too much socialization? Nah!

It was a great day though. We gathered for a beautiful February park day. There were about 20 families with kids ranging in ages from toddlers to teens. The kids played in the creek, dug in the sand and chatted contentedly. The moms chased the toddlers and chatted contentedly. Life is good when you homeschool.

Then, later that evening, a gaggle of homeschooling moms gathered for dinner at a local restaurant. It was delightful.

Socialization is such a problem for homeschoolers. NOT!

Longmont’s homeschoolers had a busy week. We enjoyed a Colorado 14ers basketball game. It was a close game, won by our team in double overtime. Our kids were so funny that they spent a ton of time up on the Jumbotron Tv. They were thrilled.

We also gathered for the Lunar eclipse viewing. The night was cloudy, but still fun. The moon viewing was moderate, but the planets all came out to shine! The kids saw Saturn, Mars and Sirius the dog star (which of course, had our Harry Potter fans giddy!)

Join us this week for park day and mom’s night out. Hope to see you there!

A New Crop of Homeschool Kindergarteners

cohsmama — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 14:59:47 +0000

We’ve got tons of little ‘tag-along’ homeschool toddlers and infants. There is always a pregnant tummy around here. With all these little ‘tag-along’ toddlers, its fun to watch them grow into full-blown homeschooled KIDS! In the last 3 weeks, we’ve had 3 kiddos hit that magic 5 year-old point that makes them official kindergarteners.

It’s never too early to start finding a support group for your young homeschooler. Babies and toddlers are always welcome our events. If you plan to Homeschool in Longmont or anywhere in Boulder county, jump in and get to know the Niche group. Our newest round of future kindergartners is currently incubating in tummies.

Are you considering homeschooling? Or have you been homeschooling, but still feel a bit lost or unsure? Attend one of Niche’s Longmont Homeschool 101 Classes.

Homeschooling is quickly becoming a common educational choice. If you have a child who is struggling, bored, unmotivated or just doesn’t fit in, then homeschooling might be a great choice for your family. Perhaps you’d just like your family to be more bonded and less hurried. Or maybe you feel that your child deserves an individualized education.

Come join the growing number of families who are finding out that homeschooling can provide a quality, individualized education, more content family time and less stress. This class will provide information about homeschool law, curriculum choices, philosophies and socialization.

Classes are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month, every month in Longmont. Classes are free but a small materials fee will apply.
