Mac Homeschool: Week-at-a-Chance


Mac Homeschool
Week-at-a-Chance: 
There's a slim chance that it will go exactly as planned . . . but, then again, maybe not.  It's O.K., I'm over it!!!




Happy Monday to all you homeschoolers and loyal readers.

This is the first of a new installment at The Mac Rak blog.  We will give you a quick peek at our homeschool plans for the week.  Why?  We want our family & friends to gain a better understanding of what our homeschool is all "about".  We also hope to bless our readers and fellow homeschool families encouraging them to never give up and keep enduring.  Your homeschool will NEVER be Harvard . . . but it doesn't need to be.  It needs to me an inspiring & safe place to learn and grow.  (*a wise friend said to me once*) Remember, no one will ever be a better advocate for your child that YOU! 

Here is a quick look at our lesson plans this week.
