Welcome!
Thank you for joining us this week at Finishing Strong – the link-up that focuses on middle & high school students.
Our favorite posts from last week:
Heidi from Starts at Eight enjoyed reading Poetry Happens from unSocialized.
The title definitely captured her attention. She said, “I don’t love poetry studies, because I am a black and white, tell it like is person, and all the reading between the lines of poetry tires me.”
She liked how poetry just happened at the dinner table for this family and they each seemed to know some poetry all on their own. You can also visit Magnetic Poetry, where magnetic tiles with words on them are given to you and you arrange them to make a poem!
Her other favorite post was Do More Than Just Enough from Livin’ in a Glass House.
Heidi shared, “I really appreciate Lynda’s thoughts on not just scraping by.” Lynda says about her son, “It makes perfect sense in his young mind to use the technology provided to take short cuts.” But then she reminds us all to do more than that. Do more than just the bare minimum, get your hands dirty and participate in life.
“This is a great reminder to remember to be grounded and be where you are, striving to live each day to its fullest,” said Heidi.
Don’t forget to check out all of the co-hosts – Aspired Living, Blog She Wrote, Education Possible, Eva Varga, Milk and Cookies, Starts at Eight, and Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus.
Megan from Education Possible loved the Homeschool Middle School Acrostic Poem from 7 Sisters Homeschool.
She said, “It was perfect for Poetry Month. I love working with acrostics with my kids. Plus it just made me laugh!”
She also enjoyed all of the FREE Online Curriculum Options for High School from Homeschool Gameschool.
“I love that we have so many options available for our teens. It’s easier than ever to help them be successful. The fact that these are all free is a huge bonus!” Megan said.
