I update my homestead blog, but not usually this one. Apparently that is bugging certain people ") he he. I like that. I will mention that my family got to meet Bill and Diana Waring recently. They are pretty cool! I got the WWW book 3 Unit study for next year. I love the way she teaches and explains different learning styles, etc. They love the Lord so much and always emphasize the Biblical Worldview in teaching and learning. Can you believe I will have 6 kids?? Three of them will be English as a Second Language (ESL). Yikes. Somebody help me! Patience is 10 and just recognizing the alphabet letters and learning their sounds. Doug works on phonics with her, and I do handwriting, Draw Write Now books, read alouds (currently Beatrix Potter) and crafts, manners, and home type stuff. Doug does Bible and Character with us all when he's home. I also get alot of help from Ruth Beechick books. Very common-sense, which is a relief to me. She's so very educated and yet maintains that the Bible is the plumbline- truth in every situation and that the best way to learn is the old-fashioned way. There's always something good from her in TOS. That's the first thing I look for in every issue, then of course it's Jen's articles. Speaking of TOS- Gena was right, it will take a long time to get through this issue! It's totally packed! I found so much in there I will need a vacation to be able to read and digest it all. Very helpful and inspiring for us bedraggled end-of-the-year moms. Great job TOS! If you don't subscribe to this magazine yet, you should! It's not just good reading, there's actually alot of material in there to use to teach. Draw Write Now pages, unit studies, health & nutrition, and the articles are from the cream or the crop in the homeschooling community- and that inclued the Show N Tell section where average families share their methods and lifestyles, stories, and pictures. Much more, too much to list! Like I said, the latest issue is absolutely packed.
