Thanksgiving Turkey and The Caldecott

I have begun incorporating fun, holiday crafts for Annaliese to do in addition to her regular lessons. This is such a fun time of year and there are so many fun crafts to do. We have reserved lots of books at the library that focus on the meaning of Thanksgiving.

We are also focusing on The Caldecott award winners. Annaliese is loving this. She loves to illustrate stories, so she is very interested in these books. So far, we're off to a great start in November!

Our Homeschooling Journey

Homeschooling my children just makes sense and feels right for our family. As parents we already do this! For most of us, we are already teaching and engaging our children every moment we are with them. This is a completely natural step for my family. We are thrilled to begin a more "structured" schedule, although we will never be so uptight about it. I think that's part of the glory of homeschooling. You feel out your children and go at a pace/schedule that's a good fit. We are just beginning this journey. I want to document the wonderful parts of homeschooling and the "real" parts. There will be days that just don't happen according to plan. I hold a teaching certificate and was a former teacher in the public school system. As soon as we started a family I knew I would homeschool. This blog will help document our plans so I can look back through the years to see what I did, as well as serve as a hangout for those of you who homeschool or are thinking about it. We will not have everything down perfectly (ever!) but hopefully it can help inspire you and give you some leads on where to begin. Although we have chosen a classical education approach to homeschooling, there are several methods and resources that are valuable and could be a good fit for your family. I encourage you to explore and ignite that fire!
