About Me

I am a first grade teacher at a great public school in California. I've been interested in homeschooling since 1999 when I first heard about The Well Trained Mind. I am a life long lover of books and of foreign languages so Susan Wise Bauer's ideas struck a chord with me.

I attended public school experiencing the best (my excellent high school French teacher), the average (elementary school), and the worst (living out this book while struggling through new math, no science or art, and pathetic attempts at history and literature) of what they have to offer.

I hope to homeschool my own children someday and in the mean time I feel like I'm playing catch up homeschooling myself. This blog is where I gather resources, ideas, and my thoughts on teaching,learning, and families.
