Glad you liked the 3 square mini-book video. :-) Have you made one yet? I'd be glad to know if you do. And if you blog pictures, I'll link back to you. You can join our lapbooking blog ring if you plan to continue blogging about lapbooks.
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school.
