A dear friend of mine suggested that I have the children complete the free Father's Day Lapbook from Live and Learn Lapbook company with Grandma while I recover from surgery. It worked out perfectly, and came as a complete surprise! I highly recommend this company if you are in search of a lapbook.
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. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
