 Busy boys and terrific twins! | 4 entries, 4 comments | | Listed in Ruth Beechick | | I'm Michelle (aka Michellyn), a homeschooling mom in Utah, where my husband and I are assisting in a church plant. We have two boys, Xander (almost 7) and Nathan (4) as well as twin girls Colette and Cate (1.5), who keep us constantly hopping! I'm using a Ruth Beechick/Charlotte Mason style, using many of the resources from Ambleside Online with my oldest son. With my second son, we are starting Before Five in a Row in addition to doing fingerplays and reading other books. I had been using "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" with him, but he was getting a bit frustrated with it, so I decided he's not quite ready for reading yet. All in good time. . . My twins are self schooling at the moment with intense unit studies in "How are the items in the kitchen drawers arranged, and how can we rearrange them?" as well as "Wow, you can discover lots more when your brothers leave open Mom's sewing room door (insert forbidden closet doors or other barricaded places here)." They also enjoy books, though frequently in an eclectic page order. All the children enjoy cooking, though the youngest three would rather ignore the recipe and sometimes drive trains and other toys through the flour. All in all, it's a fun and crazy place at our house, but I'm thrilled that God has blessed me with these four little ones. |
