Welcome back. I'm busy doing my homeschool planning for next year but I'll be here occasionally keeping you updated. You may find just what you came for and if you don't, then keep checking back!
Each school year brings new surprises, you know the things you don’t plan for. I’ve enjoyed these things so much that they are staying.
One morning I made biscuits for breakfast and in all my excitement of a new school year, I forgot to pre-heat the oven. So, the biscuits were not going to be done in time for our sausage and egg breakfast. So, going with the flow I said, “We’ll just eat them later”. When they were done it was at the beginning of Bible and somehow the biscuits got labeled Bible Biscuits. So, now my Bible Biscuits are requested at least once a week. The kids love lathering them with butter and honey as we listen and talk about the sweet word of God. Oh, how I love it when mistakes turn into a tradition!
Something else I didn’t expect is that my oldest son loves his Memoria Press online classes! I thought he’d begrudgingly do them. He remembers the chat times without me reminding him. He does the homework and quizzes on time. And, he enjoys the chat and professor. He’s really enjoying the responsibility of his own learning. I’ll post more about this in the days to come, and I share more about our school schedule.
The most remarkable thing that has happened this year is that we are done with school by 1pm. We haven’t been done with school by 1pm since I had just one child in Kindergarten. We have free afternoons to pursue hobbies, interests and spend some family time together playing and learning. I’ll post more about this miraculous transformation of our homeschool in the days to come. I’m loving it and THAT is definitely staying.
We have drawing nights together as a family now. Everyone gets a sketch book and pencils and we sketch still life’s. We have even sketched each other. This picture is of our mini art show that we put up after we draw to see each other’s art.
