Adam & Eve

Today we learned about Adam & Eve and how God took a rib from Adam to create Eve. The kids made their own Adam & Eve to see how difficult it is to make a human figure. How awesome our God is that He made us! We are using The Mystery of History as our History book.
Here is our "classroom" AKA the dining room table!

Today we learned about Pablo Picasso. Each of the kids re-created his Don Quixote.
We are learning to do our best and not say "I Can't".

First week of school

Well we have started our first week. It's been great. The kids have been happy, I've loved it, and I am feeling more confident that we really can teach our children.

My homeschool journey

So I'm going to try and blog again. I have recently decided to homeschool my kids. Now that I've made the decision I am COUNTING down the days till school gets out. I feel like I have a lot to make up to my kids and a lot to undo as well. Don't get me wrong, there have been some great moments in public school, but I can't wait to re-connect with my kids and see them learn in my home.

I owe a huge apology to all those I looked down upon, questioned their reasoning's for homeschooling their kids. I was wrong, you were right.

I just finished reading a wonderful book called For The Children's Sake. I highly recommend every parent, teacher, and anyone in the education field read this book. It has changed my life. And it's NOT a homeschool book.

Well I hope you enjoy my journey as much as I think I will. I know it will be a challenge, I mean I'm deciding to do this with an 8 year old going into 3rd grade, a 5 year old going into 1st grade, a 4 year old going into pre-school and currently a 7 month old. Plus I run my own eBay business out of my home. Should be fun!
