I don’t think school can much better than making your own bouncy ball on the dining room table for your science lesson …
{Thank you, A Reason for Science!}
or visiting our local firefighter friends at the firehall {we brought them cookies, they showed the girls how exciting a firefighter can be – all as part of our personal Fire Safety Week} …
Lyla now knows what she wants to be when she grows up. A ‘fire hydrant’. I think she means a firefighter. “Do they have to brush their teeth every morning like me, mom?” Yes, Lyla, yes, they do.
Fabulous thing about schooling together as family? Lovelyn gets to join in the fun.
And daddy, too.
One of the most valuable aspects of schooling together is downtime …
“Boys and girls must have time to invent episodes, carry on adventures, live heroic lives, lay sieges and carry forts,
even if the fortresses be an old armchair; and in these affairs the elders must neither meddle nor make.”
– Charlotte Mason
{yes, we got a bunny – she’s the sweetest thing ever. Her name is Lady Alice … and the girls adore her. I think Abby loves her more.}
If you’ve toyed with the idea of homeschooling but are scared to make that final step or perhaps are intimidated by all that a homeschooling family has to accomplish, you *MUST* come out to hear my friend, Lena Emo, speak about homeschooling!
February 8th 7 P.M. at the Orangeville Public Library
Dispelling the Misconceptions of Homeschooling
You can check out Lena’s website, as well.
I’ll be there – come and say hi! And bring your list of questions about homeschooling! 🙂
