Counting my Blessings
• Nov. 13, 2008 - Back to Basics
We're focusing only on basic academics *again* -- Math, Reading, and Writing. That seems like what I have to do to keep things smooth. I just know though that at some point, science and social studies, etc will be important. For now, I am pushing very little book work and more time spent doing activities with the kids. We are reading library books handpicked with good stuff in them. We are designing our next swing set. We're gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas and trying to instill Godly viewpoints in the kids. I find that the more we travel, the more time I have to teach a child a lesson about life, or even math, while on the road. I suppose this has always been the best way to teach... the essence of homeschooling, learning through life...
So why have I become so stressed over school?
I guess I am letting the fear of higher grade level demands get to me... I don't yet know how to balance those demands with my style of teaching. I'm praying for answers. If you have ideas, please let me know!! Thanks!
