A few years back, we felt God's leading to make a major change in our lives and began to homeschool our children. Really, when we started only A was school aged and J3 was just toddler. My, how time flies! Four years later, we are still homeschooling and are learning so much through it all!!
We are extremely blessed to have a great group of families who share the same calling and are homeschooling as well. This has provided our kids with many friendships and great learning and "social" opportunities. (So much for us being "unsocialized homeschoolers"!!) One such opportunity occurs on Thursday afternoons at our church's family life center. DV, a very gifted teacher, teaches a history class to a group of 2nd - 7th graders, around 21 in all. J3 has been really excited that this year the mom's have started a history class for our K5-1st graders. They are studying Pilgrims and Indians at the moment and have learned some facinating things...for example, did you know that the first thing the women pilgrim's did when they reached land was wash clothes. I guess somethings never change!! This past week, A's class created their Indian project where they studied a particular tribe and then had to make a model of their home to show the group. The kids showed such great creativity and worked so well together. It was awesome!! Two weeks from now they are having a Thanksgiving feast with the older kids being the pilgrims and the younger ones being the indians.
