Homeschooling

Sometimes, it just saddens me that people think homeschooled kids are just caged up inside the house, and do nothing else but study.  They are wrong.  We, homeschoolers, aren't children who are cut off from the world.  We get to learn anywhere, anytime, not just inside the four walls of a classroom.

To prove that, here's a clip from Dolphin Tale that shows how homeschoolers are really sociable! 

So don't just think we're trapped inside our homes.  Homeschoolers are more than that! 

Dolphin Tale

I highly recommend you guys to watch this movie!  It's a great watch for the family and is very inspiring!

Dolphin Tale is based on the true story of Winter, a dolphin who lost her tail due to being entrapped in a crab trap in the Indian River in Fort Pierce, Florida.  She is discovered by a boy named Sawyer Nelson and is rescued by the Clearwater Marine Hospital.  Sawyer tries to convince everyone to help save Winter by creating a prosthetic tail to replace the dolphin's missing one.  It is truly a tale of faith and courage.

Do you sometimes feel broken?  Do you sometimes feel that you're not worth anything?  Have you lost hope?  This movie is for you.  Winter lost something that she extremely needed, but did she give up?  She never lost hope.  If a little dolphin can do it, so can you!

I loved this movie because it shows that we kids can do something.  We just have to have the guts and creativity!  It also had a homeschooled character in it!  This is definitely one of those movies that actually show homeschooling in a positive light.  So for all you homeschoolers, you're definitely going to love this movie.

Having small field trips with other homeschoolers is such an enjoyable thing to do!  

Last September 10, we went to Luneta park & Light and Sound Museum with fellow TMA homeschoolers and had a Philippine history day.

Walking around Luneta was quite fun, although I do have a question.  Why is it the vendors there sell American food?  Why can't they sell Filipino food since it is Luneta park, which is full of Philippine history?

The Light and Sound museum was really nice and I loved the part where they introduced the characters from Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere.
