How it all began…

Trial to Treasure

I started homeschooling in 2001. One of my eldest was told, in 1st grade, that they required medication for ADD or they would not be able to school there. My funny, sweet, highly intelligent child was wiggly and had a lot of questions. My child reacted terribly to the medication, and so began our home-school journey. I have since graduated three children, one into university,  one had joined the Marines and is now home, the third just graduated and my baby is in middle school. With the 1st child I was worried about high school. I found belonging to a coop, and online classes allowed my children to have teachers, other than me, who excelled in their area of expertise. My children have been taught by others who have the same passion for their subject as I do for science. I have been blessed to teach science for the last 18 or so years one on one, through coops and internationally through online classes. Watching a student get excited about the world around them never gets tiring. I look forward to sharing my passion with you.
