Meet Our Family:
Hello! We’re the Puckett family. I am a homeschooling mom. My husband is an inspector of metal, piping and a vibrations tech.
We have three boys and two girls. Our eldest son is Kendall, age 24, who has a degree in Computer Science. Next is Kameron, age 20, who is in college for Radiography, and Kallen, age 15. Our girls are McKenna, age 14, and MaKayla, age 10. Our boys love anything to do with computers and have built several computers of their own. Our girls love crafts and our youngest loves Chemistry. She is always trying out new experiments.
We have one cat named GreyC who is our homeschool mascot.
As a family we love to go camping and just recently started going on cruises. Our family has been able to experience living overseas in China for four years. While we were there we fell in love with new cultures and traveling to different places.
Our Morning:
Our typical homeschool morning is first fixing breakfast. Breakfast is usually eggs, bacon and toast. Sometimes we have waffles when we have more time.
We then will start on our Language and Spelling. This we usually do for an hour to two depend on what the curriculum has for us to do that day. We then take a 15 minute break and start our Math.
Our Afternoon:
After math it’s time to start fixing our lunch. Our lunch changes from day to day. We might have hamburgers one day and pizza the next.
After lunch we have a 30 minute recess. Sometimes it is outside playing or just a free time to play a game.
We then sit down to work on History. This year we studied the history of our different States. We then studied the Geography of where the States are and their capitols.
After History is Science. This year we studied the human body and even made a cell out of jello and candy.
Our Evening:
Dinner was chicken on the grill with rice, green peppers, squash and onions.
Today was a good day and we accomplished a lot. We usually end our day with a family walk or swim. Sometimes we go and visit our grandparents or friends.
More About Our Family:
Our family is blessed to have three special needs kids in our lives. Our 15-year-old boy has dyslexia, ADD, dysgraphia and borderline Autistic. Our 14-year-old girl has multiple learning disabilities but loves to learn and keeps growing every year. Our 11-year-old has Spina Bifida and is in and out of the hospital a lot. This does not stop her. She’s ahead of the grade she should be in and loves to learn.
