Can I just tell you I love homeschooling







I wish every mother on earth got the chance to homeschool their children. My daughter went to a christian school for Kindergarten and First grade. I decided in 2nd to try homeschooling because they really did not want her answers in the lutheran school she was in. They told me I needed to make sure she was in their church for 75%of the time because she was corrupting the way the other children were thinking. I laughed at this but then I thought you know that is why I will not send her to the public school in Fort Wayne.
Anyway I love it. I loved it last year and we really had no plan. I bought workbooks and gave Toni the assignments and went on with my day it worked for us. I did not like it though. So I set out on a curriculum hunt. We have a lot of homeschool families in our church so I started asking around. No one does the same thing. My daughter's friend is homeschooled too so I asked them what they did. My Father's World.

I am telling you I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only is the day laid out for you. I am learning as much as Antonia. We are in Germany right now and I am so thankful for the nice weather because yesterday we went on a hike through a "forest". We got lots of shadow pictures thanks to the idea from my flellow blogger the casual perfectionist. Our house looks like a mini school room and we love traveling from country to country. Homeschooling is great I wish every one could have the chance.

We started school in July so I think we are ahead of you. When You study Germany you will learn about Forests. It says to take a walk in a wooded area and mark it off with a yard stick or by foot. And Draw it. Toni had to pick the right spot(we went to Shoaff park) and unfortunately the river ran through the area she wanted to draw so we did not do the measuring but she did draw the trees and decided that the floor of the "forest" was decididuos.
