Welcome to Finishing Strong, a weekly linkup for those homeschooling students in middle and high school years. Hosted by us here at EvaVarga, along with our friends – Heather from Blog She Wrote, Megan & Susan from Education Possible, and Heidi from Starts at Eight – will find inspiration and ideas to engage your teens and preteens.
Bloggers, you are encouraged to link up your best ideas, encouragement, and advice that’s appropriate for older kids being schooled at home. Make sure you take some time to read the posts shared below. I know you will find them helpful!
Next week is National Engineers Week is next week and February 25th has been designated as Girl Day, an opportunity to teach girls about the difference they can make in the world as an engineer and to celebrate women in STEM.
If you plan to participate in a local event or are looking for hands-on activities to engage your students, you’ll find many ideas here, Engineering Day Activities.

Each week, the post shared that received the most clicks is featured on all four host blogs. Here is the most popular post from last week:
Our 6th Grade Curriculum by Mother of 3 at My Life’s Work
In addition, I have selected a couple of posts I enjoyed reading last week. I’ve annotated each to give you a peak into what I liked about each one.
“As a society and as individuals, we all need to make daily decisions based on our basic knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts – our scientific literacy.” I love the suggestions Marci provides in her post, How to Promote Scientific Literacy in Your Children.
My daughter will be entering high school this fall and BJ’s post, Seven Tips for College Applications, helps guide me along the process of the documentation I will need to keep on her behalf.
As always, thank you for helping us to make Finishing Strong a key resource for families who are homeschooling through the middle & high school years.
