The Open Mind Academy
The Open Mind Academy is a safe place for our children to learn and explore their world.
Although learning styles vary differently, and we may possess specific disabilities, we believe that attitude can bolster ability any day!
We home school two children with special needs. Most of the documents you will find on this site are within the 2nd to 4th grade range. These are not the only assignments we use, in generality simply the ones that are compatible with the Power Points provided here. However, we have discovered that if one subject is covered over several areas and days, it is embraced completely and with ease.
Due to our particular "unschooling" method, we have also discovered that if we limit the questions to between 6-10, attitude issues are minimalized. For us, it is the willingness to be open minded to new ideas, new techniques and the confidence to ask new questions that is of primary importance.
