Gecko

by Liesl - Homeschool Den

When the kids brush their teeth at night, they always
get a big kick out of watching these geckos catch moths
on the bathroom window!

Hi! I’m Liesl!

Liesl HomeschoolDen

Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)

A bit about me: I have my Master's from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.
