home education
as most of you will know I recently had a baby. My other two babies are 16 and 12. daughter is doing really well at college and son is doing ok at secondary school. I was a classroom assistant for 5 years and am a bit disappointed with the classroom teachings these days. I would like to educate Libby at home but not full time. I think school is a good social building exercise. I have enrolled her in baby sign language starting in May (she will be 5 months). I hope to teach her a bit about loads of stuff (not exactly Einstein myself) including reading writing colours, baking, construction (I will be using toilet roll tubes) all about animals and different countries (unfortunately cant afford to visit them)
I know she is young just now but I would like to read up about how babies/toddlers learn etc before she gets there.
Has anyone had experience of home educating? Any good books I could read?
