Apr. 18, 2006 - Update on our homeschool planning
I have been pleasantly surprised at how much we have learned as a result of our 'unplanned days'...I have had a wonderful and relaxed time of being able to peruse the net/web in search of sites I had long forgotten or bookmarked for the day when I had 'nothing' to do..lol!
Our days have been full of learning, cooking, planting, creating projects and .....we love it! I am much more relaxed and I am keeping track of all we have gotten accomplished and learned in the past month to add to our end of the year portfolio.
In our state, we choose either an assessment test score from a standardized test or have a portfolio done by a certified teacher..we choose the latter as this teacher also is a homeschool veteran! Woo-Hoo!
The wind is really blowing here today but we are enjoying our day inside with lots of hot cocoa (tea for mom~Canadian Vanilla Maple) and will make some good homemade 'munchies' soon to enjoy with our afternoon read-aloud time! Hope your Easter was a blessed one and may your heart and home be filled with His love!
Joyfully His,
Lynne

Wow! Sounds like you all are doing wonderfully! We don't have an option other than testing in NC, but they just have to take the test -- no set pass or fail kind of thing.....so once a year we test.

Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Mother's Day on Sunday! May you find true joy in your children and the blessing of motherhood.
Praise God for allowing us such a wonderful, life changing experience as raising His children!
