Hola! I’m Carolin Jensen. Originally from Peru, Spanish is my first language and I speak both Spanish and English fluently. We are a military family and we have been in Leavenworth for the past 2 years. The first year here we joined the Recess group, what a wonderful community! I love the freedom to let the kids play each Friday, to meet new moms, and to have meaningful conversations.
I have 4 kids; 3 daughters and a son, and this is our 11th year homeschooling. It has been a ride! When my oldest daughter was 2 she wanted to read, so I taught her how to read, write and do basic math. She wanted to learn, she was always craving learning, and she learned fast. By 3 she was reading books all by herself and when she turned 4 I did what everyone did and put her in school, but it was not a good fit. She was bored and did not thrive in the school environment. I found a good friend that introduced me to homeschooling and together with my husband we decided to embark on the journey. It has brought us closer as a family and taught us what learning is truly about. Now I look back and see the beautiful memories and the hard learning moments we did together and it is clear that homeschooling truly is part of our family culture. Being part of The Social Homeschooler has been great, we don’t have to have just a designated day to create a community, in fact we have plenty of opportunities, I love how flexible it is, and that we can join or create an activity any day.I love that my kids have plenty of time to pursue their interests and passions, to enjoy having a garden, and to connect with nature. I hope to see my kids learning and growing in confidence as they keep participating in the activities. I hope to share with other families the flexibility and the value The Social homeschooler brings, and to help facilitate more opportunities for our children to learn, to grow and to develop their talents.
