There are some things, some activities, some ideas, that only a homeschool family knows.
You know you’re a homeschooler when you do things unconventionally, when you think about education unconventionally, and you throw all the kids together and assume they can figure things out dependent on their abilities, not their grades, also unconventionally.
You know you’re a homeschooler when…
1. When you’re learning geometry and volume with grapes, marshmallows, and toothpicks.
2. When you consider extracurricular activities like soccer, baseball, or swim lessons PE class.
3. When your four-year-old thinks he’s going to the same extracurricular activities as the twelve-year-old.
4. When your kiddos are sledding on the first snow of the year at 9 in the morning.
5. When your kiddos spend more time with their dad than their friends.
6. When your kids help you plan the grocery list…cause they know what’s in the fridge.
7. When your kids finish daily chores before their studies.
8. When your older kids teach your younger kids how to sweep, set the table & cross the street.
9. When tea is served along with afternoon history reading.
10. When the teacher is brushing her teeth while the kids are practicing their handwriting.
My favorite is when your kids spend more time with dad than with friends! Such a blessing to homeschool. Thanks for keeping up with your blog, I love reading your stuff! I look forward to your book one day!
Thanks Helen…I am encouraged by your words! Do you know a publisher??
Those 4 children on the couch reading sure look beautiful.
Is that Zachary riding the horse? Wow so grown up.
