Guest joyangel75 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi All... not only am I new to the idea of homeschooling, I am also new to the world of forum posting!!! So all and any advice and guidence appreciated! I have a 3.5 y.o. son and 18 mth daughter.... so very early on in the picture thus far!! Finally convinced hubby that homeschooling is the path we'll take! Using fitzroy readers with son... he is loving reading! No other particular curriculum stuff as yet... he just soaks up anything we do so far - loves learning!! I also use sign language with our kids - have done so since they were babies (AUSLAN) - so guess we've got 2nd language covered too!! Looking forward to getting to know more families on here :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsabelC Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi, only just saw your thread. We are in Southern Tasmania, home educating our children aged 6, 4 and 1. I'm also a big fan of Fitzroy Readers. Is there an Australasian members social group? Should we start one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi and thx for the welcome... i am in northern victoria, living on the murray river! Ah. Just a stones throw from me! How well are your kiddies signing? I've just bought the new Time to Sign dvd for my not terribly language oriented dd2 and have high hopes for it. Like all self respecting kids, she'll look at the idiot box longer than her old mother. It's hard to sign with someone who won't look...

Rosie lol... i teach auslan classes to other homeschooling families locally, and my 3 y o decides to help me teach now!!! he is quite good at auslan... funny though - he likes to make up his own signs.... but then he has started to make up his own words too.... so i am also learning a LOTE - 3yo speak!!!! My 1 year old signs poo, all gone, mum, milk, food... and a few others... she probably has as many signs as she does spoken words... although not all the same words! So her vocab is bigger than what it would be if we didn't sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's too much fun to say :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneC Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Signing it won't get the attention in the supermarket queue that saying it will:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks and it looks like from what Ive read on the forums that I should probably go with a really quiet exhaust, and Ill need to take it off once a year when it gets inspected? Motorcycle spam?! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
