Home School Families Respond to Katrina

In their own unique ways, home school families are responding to the devastation of Katrina. Liberty and Lily has written some great entries about this... Ambleside Online has put up emergency lesson plans for families who will want to get back into lessons sometime in the future after losing everything.

The Ambleside Advisory wrote: "We know that there are more important things than missed schooling during a crisis. But sometimes in the midst of disasters, creating a small oasis of normalcy and continuity is very important. In the midst of such a disaster, grown-ups with many urgent details on their minds cannot always focus on thinking up things for children to do, and it is our prayer that this free resource will fill a needed niche. It may not be enough, but we do what we can."

Project Noah, created in 2001 to deal with home educators' needs after Tropical Storm Allison, accepts used or new educational materials to distribute to families.
