The Conclusion of: The Name Game

I think I have finally come up with a name with meaning

and that fits our family!

PEACE Academy. I know that probably lots of people use this acronym, but it just seems to "fit" us. The word "Peace" completely describes the feeling we had when we decided that homeschooling was the best thing for our family...total and complete peace from being able to give the very best to our children, to not have to "part" with them to a total stranger...feeling the "peace" from making the decision that is God's will for our family! Perfect Peace!

So I wanted to come up with words to give even more meaning to the name, so I came up with these "traits/desribers" for our homeschool.

P: Pray (What we will teach our children to do, and what our decisions will be made with)

E: Encourage (What we will do for each other and for others as a school and family)

A: Act (What I want my children to do and us as a homeschool, act within the community and family)

C: Care (For others, for our siblings, classmates, everyone, just a great trait)

E: Educate (Let's not forget the initial purpose, to educate in truth)

Our Homeschool:

PEACE Academy

Motto: Nosce teipsun (Know Thyself)

Hi Again. The unit study is a lot of fun and a good way to get started. Yes, I will incorporate all subjects into this study at first. That is the getting started part. As the study winds down, I will step up the regular routine. In the past, I would jump in feet first (which is OK to do) and I'd get some resistance. I want to try this way this year to see if it works better for us. They enjoy being homeschooled, but it can become hard to keep the enthusiasm going all year long and summers are so much fun that we tend to need "help" getting back to work.
Hope this helps. Oh, and the unit study is from Hands of a Child and is pretty good for little ones.

About Me

My husband and I have decided that homeschooling is the best option for our children and family! We are excited to get started with our almost five year old girl, and our 3 year old boy will be along for the ride this year as well! We don't know much about the "how" yet, but we will be learning together as we continue on this journey together! Feel free to read my blog entries and comment! I am looking forward to keeping everyone in the loop as to our exciting and fun times in homeschooling!
