I actually like the idea of home schooling in middle or high school more than elementary simply because it's so much WORK teaching them in these early stages and if I don't do it right now it will be that much harder for them to learn later. I can see myself enjoying home schooling more when they can do a lot of the learning on their own. :) Thanks, Katie!

But honestly, I think it's pretty hard to do that when we are fervently seeking the Lord and following what we feel He is leading us to do. :) You're doing GREAT, Anna!

You're getting them outside, they're getting fresh air, it's good for everyone. I'm a big proponent of the "let's got to the park to avoid cleaning" tactic. :) Taking your kids is kind of guilt-free procrastination.

My kids and I have settled into the groove, and it works well for us. The kids are home, but I don't do any teaching for my oldest two (which is REALLY good since I can't remember Algebra II and I never took Chemistry), and I only do part of the teaching for my 6th grader. I love the way you put it, though... that we're all equipped for what we have to do... what God has called us to do. It's very true...as long as we remember that the equipping is by His grace only, and Him working through us. :-) Loved following you through Tanzania. We’re e-schooling again.

I've been reading Educating the WholeHearted Child by Clay Clarkson. It has freed me up so much and been very thought-provoking. It is a very simple approach. We are open to all of our options but I still think we are leaning toward keeping the boys at home next year. It is going to be very simple. (i think) (i am praying a lot about it, asking God for wisdom) (cause you know, i don't want to, like, mess my kids totally up) We’re right there in the trenches with you too, praying about the where and how of school next year.

Our weather has been amazing so we've been to the park a lot. A little mini-vacation in the day, only not.
