Homeschool Tidbits: Build Your Library’s Weekly Video Blog Series
August 11, 2022
Build Your Library’s “Homeschool Tidbits”
In our weekly video series, I will briefly discuss a homeschooling-related topic and will share some of my knowledge and expertise as a long-time homeschooling mother of 4 children. Three of whom have graduated!
This series will consist of an approximately 10-minute “quick-bit” YouTube video and a corresponding blog post article. As we continue these Homeschool Tidbits, we will add them to the list below.
We look forward to sharing our homeschool experiences and insights with you and your family. This format allows us to target frequently occurring questions in bite-sized, informational discussions. Please feel free to ask any further questions on the particular video or blog article comments.
If you have any suggestions on something you might want to be covered in a future Homeschool Tidbit, please comment on this blog post.
