About Me

---

Hello world! I'm Ana M. Ryder. Thanks for taking a peek into my personal story. Let me tell you a little bit more about myself.

When I'm not creating fun hands-on resources for teachers to use in their unique classrooms, I'm exploring the world with my family trio. Exploration is a relative term in my life. It can reflect the family passions of road-tripping our way across the country to delving deep into an amazing educational adventure that ties into our homeschooling.

​Mountains, seashores, music, hockey, and battlefields are just some of the key ingredients to making that perfect learning experience, even for us adults. Who said learning was only a kid thing anyway?

Right now, we live in a tiny hamlet somewhere in the northeast region of the United States. Every time we open our windows, we soak in all of the wildlife within our vast backyard and our incredible mountain views. I feel so lucky to have such a beautiful and tranquil place to teach our son about the world. 

When it comes to homeschooling, we lean more towards a non-traditional education. I believe that workbooks can only go so far, then after that, hands-on learning is the most important. Montessori, Charlotte Mason, unschooling, STEM-based education are just a few staples in my custom-made studies. I guess you could call me more of an eclectic homeschooler. Variety of subject matter is essential to me.

In my eyes, the world is such a vast and diversified place, so education should reflect similarly. A well-balanced and meaningful learning experience is part of everything. Essentially, the world is our playground and our classroom in tandem. Every adventure our family trio goes on is yet another way to learn about anything and everything. Battlefields come alive, mountains awe us with marvels of nature, music fills us with the airs of culture, and a hockey game teaches us about the art of teamwork. Life is such an incredible journey. We can only develop and grow every step we take together.
