The Eclectic Telegraph: 2007

I chose the name "The Eclectic Telegraph" because it reminds me of the "Coconut Telegraph", a song by Jimmy Buffett, but also the name of some Newspapers actually found in the Caribbean. Though I don't intend this journal to model either, it is still fun to think about those things (and places) as I write the content here. I chose "Eclectic" because that is really what our homeschool is and my journey has become.

Life as a homeschooler and in constant daily contact with a highly gifted student brings an energy I can't explain, yet drains me; makes me think about things in a new way, yet causes me to stick with tried and true methods; makes me strive for accomplishing all the tasks I need to, yet causes me to think forward to the time my student will go to bed and I can have a cup of tea and listen to Jimmy Buffet in peace and quiet. Eclectic. That's the description of the path I am enjoying on my journey right now. Eclectic is also our homeschool "style". We do what works. We dig in the dirt or the beach sand, we kayak on rivers, we read, we travel.....
