After a solid year of homeschooling, all three RainDrops, we have finally hit somewhat of a stride. There has been a huge learning curve for us all. But we are beginning to see the light on how to run our days.
We have had many changes in our family besides homeschooling, including surgeries, illness,doctor appointments, new helpers for Ashlyn and Aaron, and OF COURSE our family grew with the addition of two teenage exchange students. With all of this comes a family with growing pains.
We are not taking an official summer break this year. We will be swimming, playing and resting. However school will continue in full force. We will continue with the "3 Rs." The major change will come by what curriculum we use. We have used LifePac from AlphaOmega this year for Jessie and Aaron and Ashlyn has used Bob Jones. I have learned I and my kids are not fans of LifePac. I am finding that we are not reading enough literature with them.
There for we will be switching homeschool philosophies. We will use Bob Jones for math, language, and reading. However we will be using a Charlotte Mason approach for history, science, literature, and the arts.
