Mi español no es tan bueno, hablo (y escribo) mejor portugues (y ingles). Mas, intendo un poco.

Es bueno conocer familias que viven sin escuela en otros paises.

Abrazos, Sue

I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your family and look forward to reading more of your blogs, and those of other homeschooling families. I hope you and your loved ones are in good health...xoxo.

I am so happy to have found this website. It is so wonderful to so many people from Puerto Rico on here. I love your page and all the great pictures of your family!

I'm going to leave your playlist open and listen to while I do other stuff. I love to find playlists!

At 9:43am on September 17, 2008, Katie S. said…: Hi, Joannette. I tried to respond to a discussion you started, but the discussion disappeared into the ning ether. Here's my response:

It depends how much time I have and who is asking and what vibe I get from that person. If I'm in a hurry (rushing through the grocery store on the way to an appointment), I might not give a lot of information. If I'm in a coffee shop, talking to someone who really seems interested, I offer more information. I generally try not to tell people that we homeschool - because we don't. I either say "Ev's not in school" (appropriate if it's a quick interaction - often answering the question of what school she attends or grade she's in) or "we're unschoolers" (which either leads to additional questions or that person's assumption that we homeschool).

I would love more vocabulary. More than that I would like to get fluent in Spanish. I should try some of the websites Betty mentioned and read them to get the flow of Spanish usage.

At 1:33pm on September 16, 2008, Betty P said…: Hi. The reason I'm not saying much on my group http://groups.msn.com/aprendizajenatural/ is that people don't say much and I got tired of doing monologues but I keep it because is a good way to let people from Latinamerica know about Homeschooling and mainly about Unschooling. It was originated at http://groups.msn.com/Aprendizajenatural. Any way, the purpose of this group had it fruits: http://groups.msn.com/educacionpersonalizada/ and http://groups.msn.com/educacionpersonalizada/ . There were the Kathleen McCurdy's unschooling website http://familiaescolar.com/ but the msn NL group was the first group, so I'm proud to let know to latinamerican families the existance of learning freely as a family. Oops, now I see is you Sandra, you helped me a lot! Do you remember me, I'm Betty Polanco

At 12:34pm on September 16, 2008, Mary said…: Hi! Your boys remind me so much of mine! I'm going to try and post pictures. Another thing in common, I have been married for 18 yrs. Nice to "meet" you.

At 4:09pm on September 13, 2008, Katherine said…: I think you may be one of the first Spanish speaking unschoolers here. I'd love to learn more Spanish.

At 11:30am on September 13, 2008, Sandra Dodd said…: This list has gone quiet, but maybe you could go there and invite people here:
