Jambo!
What
an exciting year 2004 has been -- the premier
issue of FUNgasa was mailed to 75
homeschoolers and five issues later, we have over
400 subscribers! The online African-American
homeschooling community is flourishing and has
welcomed us with open arms.
Thanks to all who contributed articles and
ideas to FUNgasa, and to you, our valued
subscriber, for your encouragement and support.
We look forward to bringing you more great things
from African-American homeschooling families in 2005!
Learning All the Time,
S. Courtney Walton

Pearls of Wisdom |
|
|
|
|
by Jacqueline M. Ward
Albert
Einstein, was once heard to remark ( I am
paraphrasing here) "there is only one critical decision
that you have to make...whether you believe the
world is a hostile place or a hospitable place."

The Importance of Play for Homeschooled Children |
|
|
|
|
by Monica Z. Utsey
Studies
show that parents do believe play is
important, but they end up sacrificing play in pursuit
of academic excellence because we live in such a
competitive and cut throat world. But play really is
serious business.

and share that gift with as many people here as you
can. The rewards of kinship, inspiration and support
will far out weigh your efforts.
