A Little Look at What We Do!

After taking some time off to get more organized and to regroup we are back at the homeschool journey! 

I have a 4 year old who is working on mostly 1st grade curriculum. She is an excellent reader and now we are working on handwriting, and math. 

We start each day off with prayer and bible verses. Then depending on what she is interested in we do worksheets and listen to some good classical music to promote neuro pathway development. 

We are also learning sign language, and Spanish! I love being able to learn WITH my daughter. That is one of the joy's 

 She loves learning to write....when it's her idea! ;)


 Another thing I love about teaching my daughter is that every time she does something I can PRAISE her! She is learning that she can be confident in her work and not seek constant approval through my frequent praise!  Since she excels in reading we spend extra time working on other subjects. 

I have always loved reading, science and history as well and what most people call "useless Knowledge". I enjoy trivia and I hope she enjoys learning her whole life! 

My theory is if I'm not learning something new I must be dead!!! 


Why Homeschool?

Home School:

Gives children a firm foundation.

It's fun!

You get to learn with them!

You get to help them use what they learn.

We can bring the spritual aspect anytime.

We don't have to be in such a rush!

It's relaxed.

Chores- being at home gives you the chance to get to teach them to serve.

School work is DONE each day!

Sibling connection.

advances your child in a specific area.

Socialization_ church, sports, swim, playdates.

Sometimes we need help!

Don't be afraid to admit you need help!

BE IN THE WORD!

SHELTER YOUR CHILDREN!!!!

BE VIGILIANT!!!

Monitor movies, music, books & friends. Let them have boundries!

Be a model of what your children should be and do.

NONE of us are perfect and we should seek to give them a pure environment.

Pay attention to what's in their hearts. 

Pray for them and be a role model! 

Set boundries, one day they will understand!!!
