Welcome to Finishing Strong ~ a weekly link-up dedicated to families homeschooling middle & high school kids. Each Wednesday, moms just like you share their best tips, encouragement, advice, and more for teaching older kids at home.
I am delighted that families homeschooling middle and high school age students are coming together and finding inspiration in one another. That’s has been the goal of Finishing Strong since its inception. Thank you!!
Finishing Strong is hosted by me here at EvaVarga along with my friends – Heather from Blog She Wrote, Megan from Education Possible, and Heidi from Starts at Eight.
Eclipses and Diligence
Last week we had a chance to put ourselves in the path of totality for the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse. We had contemplated not following through with our original plans due to the concerns with traffic and I am so happy we prevailed.
In my post, In the Path of Totality: The 2017 Eclipse, I share our reflection on this experience. It was amazing and we are so thankful that we had this opportunity. We had a great time and look forward to potentially seeing another.
The next total eclipse that will cross over the United States is in 2024. If you are able to witness this event, I highly recommend it.
Finishing Strong
We hope you’ll take some time to check out the amazing posts that have been shared with us. We are so thankful to all of our readers and contributors who help make Finishing Strong a key resource for everyone homeschooling through the middle & high school years.
Below are some of the posts I enjoyed from last week, as well as the one that received the most clicks (in the #1 spot). Did I choose one of your favorites?
Teaching Diligence to My Teen is a Hill I Am Willing to Die On
from Ann at Annie & Everything ~ Oh my goodness, YES! “… the teen years hit and overnight your child seems to forget that you ever taught him anything, much less how to do schoolwork or housework in a timely fashion.”
How to Make a Four Year High School Plan
from Heather at Blog, She Wrote ~ Like Heather, I have a four year plan in place for each of my kiddos. We revise and tweak every now and then, but it has been a great way to keep our goals in mind and develop coursework to support them as unique individuals.
Video Making – How to Make it Into High School Credit
from Betsy of BJ’s Homeschool Encouragement ~ My son loves making videos for his YouTube channel. While most of his are Minecraft or cubing related, Betsy’s post outlines a way to expand on his passion for high school credit.
