Hello! We are the Recchia family and we have been homeschooling for 6 years now. Our daughter, Jaclyn, is in the 5th grade. Philip is in in 2nd grade and Marc is in Kindergarten. We have had lots of fun learning about education on the computer so we thought we'd share some of our favorite links and ideas with you. Below, you'll find a good assortment of educational links, fun school links, inspirational thoughts, how our family began homeschooling, and some neat projects and ideas. If you bookmark this page be sure to refresh your page regularly. We will be adding new information and updating often. Thanks and enjoy! Last updated on February 22, 2000.
Humorous Thoughts...
Ralph: Dad, will you do my math for me tonight?
Dad: No, son, it wouldn't be right.
Ralph: Well, you could try...
This little "funny" made me think about how much we, as parents, have to refresh our minds as to what we learned in school when we homeschool our own kids! It is indeed a challenge to stay ahead of these active little minds...
And for the kids...
Q. What letters of the alphabet, when put together, mean nothing?
(The answer is found at the bottom of the page.)
Food for Thought...
- For wisdom is better than rubies: and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. ~Prov. 8:11
- For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. ~Prov. 2:6
- The end of all learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love and imitate Him. ~John Milton
- Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. ~Prov. 8:33
- Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. ~Prov. 3:13
Our Favorite Quotes...
- Free knowledge: bring your own container.
- No matter what you try to do,
at home or at your school,
always do your very best,
there is no better rule!
