Welcome to Finishing Strong ~ where the focus is on those who are homeschooling middle and high school years. The weekly linkup provides an opportunity for you to share what you have been learning in your home. In what experiences have you recently taken part? Are there concepts and subjects that you find challenging?
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 – you 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!

Finishing Strong Favorites
Each week, the post shared that received the most clicks is featured on all four host blogs. The most popular post from last week was:
I enjoyed reading 10 Effective Strategies for Motivating Homeschooled Teens from Ann at Annie and Everything. Her ideas to keep kids motivated are wonderful – some we have used (let them listen to music) and others we have yet to give a go (give them a change of venue).
Heather’s post, How to Make Word Collages at Blog, She Wrote, is a fun word activity that I look forward to using with my Writer’s Workshop kids later this month. “It’s a great way to consider multiple meanings of the same word.”
The next post I would like to highlight, Teaching a Good Work Ethic, comes from Mother of 3, who blogs at My Life’s Work. Her post resonated with me because my kiddos don’t earn an allowance. They are encouraged to earn their spending money via small jobs and entrepreneurial efforts. I enjoyed reading her ideas on how to teach children the value of hard work.
