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.
Natural History with Mary Anning
We are in London this week where we visited the Natural History Museum. Here we saw the most complete Stegasarous skeleton as well as an amazing display of hummingbirds from around the world that was put together in two hundred years ago. Though the colors have since faded, it was still impressive.
I was delighted to also see an exhibit celebrating the contributions to Paleontology of a young English woman in the early part of the 1800s. Learn more about her in my post, The Heroine of Lyme Regis: Mary Anning.
I know you will find the posts that have been shared with us inspiring! Grab a cup of tea, kick back, and take some time to check out the wonderful posts shared below. What are your favorites?
