Well, Since my last post (which was almost a month ago) we went went on a Geocaching.."What is a Geocaching?.." Watch this video to find out.. This was so much fun.. and the kids in our home school group had a great time.. and all worked together..It was GREAT! :)
You know home schooling is not all just about sitting inside the house(or a class room) everyday..and having them do their "school work" in a text/work book.. Which we do on a normal school day. Children (and not just my daughter) can learn from the things in the world around them.You will be amazed on HOW MUCH they will learn and pick up from just being outside and being around their friends..and play with nature..and asking questions..and getting their answers.
Kids ask "WHY" about things all the time.. and when they do..they are learning about things when we (the adults in most cases) explain to them...If there is something you both are not sure of.. you can look it up on the internet..or check a book out at the library..etc.
My daughter is so far ahead right now (No, I have not had her tested to prove this..YET..but I can.. and others can see how much she has learned since we began home schooling) In fact we are so far ahead right now..I am trying to slow down a little bit so we do not get TO far ahead of ourselves.. She has already gotten through over half of her 1st grade work book. We will be done for the summer (well,we will still probably work on some stuff during the summer) May 2nd. We do not have to go until June 10th like they would be doing in public school..Simply, because, We will work some over the summer.
(To be continued)
That is all for now.. I will write more later.. Comments are welcome :)
