how we homeschool

Posted by Valerie Friday, September 4, 2009

I title this "how we homeschool" while laughing. I was teaching the kids the other day and it was raining and I was needing a break, so I told the kids to go outside when it lets up, and play for "recess". So they went outside and stood on chairs so that they could "shake" all the rain off the tree onto themselves. After watching them do this for 20 or so minutes, I began to wonder about how my neighbors think I homescool. I couldn't help but laugh.

And after all that time making such a nice school room for them, THIS is how they want to do their school work

I started out with the two girls together at one table and their older brother at a different table in another room. I almost feel like I need a third room, though, as whichever two are together have trouble staying on task!

I giggled when i saw the pictures of your kids doing their work in such strage positions! If mine could, I think they would do their work while standing on their heads at times! But hey, if it works and they are learning...why not? I wonder what our neighbors think of us too at times. Oh, those crazy home schoolers ;) Praise the Lord that I am blessed to count myself as one of those "cray home schoolers" I love the profile paragraph of your blog! Purity has become such a great desire of mine too! what a blessing to find another momma who shares the same values! Look forward to reading!

They think I have lost my mind and the neighbors must really have lost my mind! We count it as a shower for the day. :)

I write on the most varied, and well... sometimes quite odd topics. I am a mom to three, soon to be four amazing kiddos. I am the wife of the only man in the world who can melt me, frustrate me, teach me, mold me, lead me, romance me and drive me a bit crazy. God has saved me from myself, my sins, and my hellbound road, and for that I am forever grateful. I love my King, my kids, my Sweetheart, and the life that Christ has led me to. I am passionate about my faith, healthy living, frugality, adoption, purity, children, and homeschooling, as well as a host of other things. These things do not define me but definitely hold my interest in a conversation! These are also some of the things that I speak about here.
