Hi ,

Did you know I workamp? It’s got nothing to do with homeschooling, but it’s part of my world and I wanted to share it with you today. I hope that’s okay. In fact, just last week, I started a new workamping gig and enjoyed getting to know my new duties.

Speaking of things you didn’t know…I was thinking about all the things I don’t know about homeschooling. So I spent some time on Google and found some really interesting stuff that I thought you might find fascinating, too.

Care to read?

#1— Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, and Simone Biles were all homeschooled. Did you know that? Not me!

#2— Mancala might be one of the oldest board games in the world! There are many versions, but people may have begun playing as many as 8,000 years ago in what is now Jordan! We know that homeschooling has been around forever (public schools are only a few hundred years old at most), so it's pretty cool to think that people may have been gameschooling for 8,000 years.

#3— Around the world, millions of people homeschool their kids (I tried to find an actual number; really, I did. It's just not out there). And you and I are 2 of them! How amazing is it that we found each other?

I could go on, but I do have to check my kids' writing. Of course, there’s always time to hear more fun facts. Hit reply if you’ve got any that I didn’t mention. 

I’d love to learn from you, too! Until next time,

Happy Gaming!
