What is Chicago Homeschool Habitat?
July 18th, 2007 by Kimbac
Chicago Homeschool Habitat is a blog that keeps you, ideally a Chicago-based homeschool parent, plugged in to events, classes and activities that would be of interest to homeschoolers. The coverage may be spotty, but I can’t be everywhere at once, so if you notice something missing, please email me the details so I can slap it up here. My email is something like this: kimATrelaxedhomeskool.com
Chicago homeschool Habitat is a more practical offshoot of Relaxed Homeskool, my personal blog which likes to celebrate the joys, rant about the setbacks and observe with wonder what the heck my kids, kids in general and the world is up to in regards to learning and living.
I love links. If you have a blog or website which could be useful, specifically to Chicago or Illinois homeschooling families, please email me for a link, and feel free to return the favor.
Another thing I love, comments. On my other blog I get them in droves, because it is much easier to comment on a personal blog than on a link to an event. I get it. But if you have a thought on the post, don’t hesitate to post it anyway, no matter how mundane. It’ll sustain me as I search daily for relevent material, be it at the park building or online. I swear I bring home a flyer a day in order to post stuff here! Not that you care. No, you’re too busy having fun and remaining blogless…or, or one-blogged.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks,
Kim
Good evening Kim- My name is Chuck Bosko and I am a district Executive for the Chicago Area Council- Boy Scouts of America. I and my fellow DE’s (as we call ourselves)constanly strive to meet new people -and thier children- and introduce them to the scouting program. Perhaps you may have questions as to how scouting may be of interest for families that home school. The area of Chicago that I serve is basically the Northwest corner. Allow me to state that scouting can be tailored for every environment. As Joan Rivers says- “Can we talk?” I am available -708 205 3541 (cell) 312 421 8800 ext 212 (scouting office) Thank you and I would like to engage in conversation.

To Whom It May Concern
My wife and I currently hold seminars that are informative as well as practical. We not only demonstrate methods of self defense and abduction prevention but teach children and parents what their state of mind has to do with their success in assault and abduction prevention.
We also teach general fitness, exercise and health. My wife and I have home schooled both of our sons and know how difficult it is to find good fitness and exercise programs for children in the home school environment.
You will find our rates on our web site.
Thank you for your consideration,
Elliott W. Woodards
Kim-
I found your site and I hope you can point me in the right direction. I work for a production company that is delivering a national college funding expo and we are coming to Chicago on Sept 28th. The tour focuses on financial aid, scholarships, resume building, and literally everything a college bound student will need to consider to be successful in college. The event is free for anyone to attend thanks to our national sponsors. We have invited all the high schools but we have not found a way to contact students and families that choose the home school route. If you could help me find a way to reach them, it would be great. Home schooled kids so often get left out of things like this because it’s hard to target them. Below is a link to our tour website. Check it out, and tell your friends!

Hi there,
I am a previous homeschool parent and a certified teacher. I have 2 girls in school full time and one at home still (age 2 1/2). I would love to find a venue for teaching. I taught at our homeschool co-op before moving and now am looking to find an outlet again. I love to teach and have a big heart for homeschoolers. Let me know if you know of any possibility! Thanks!
