So we're into our third month of official homeschooling. I say that the homeschooling began when they were born, but of course we didn't make it a formal thing until this school year. I can honestly say with all my heart that I thank God I am able to do this. I know He doesn't leave me to teach alone, and that He can fill in the cracks I leave if I just trust Him. The rewards are astounding. When we first started, we had our schedule made out, our plan on paper. As time went on, I realized with two babies in the house it just wasn't going to work all the time, and I'm not beating myself up about that. I do want them to have a set routine, but the timing isn't so perfect every day. My daughter is 6, in first grade, and my son is 4, in Kindergarten. We are using Abeka this year, but again, I'm finding that using different things is ok, too. We have a few other books, and some interesting sites I've found on the internet for projects. So far, my children seem to be enjoying the work and are learning so much. I am amazed at their progress in just a couple of months. Our family is bonded even closer than we were before, and I love seeing them discover something new. I stand in awe of my children sometimes. If I let myself think of all the things they will have to be taught in the coming years, I feel very overwhelmed. My prayer today is that God will help me just focus on what they need today and not worry about tomorrow. |
