Hello Jamie,
I so appreciate your emails and your book.
This is my 27th year if homeschooling and having one graduating this year, there is yet one more to go through her high school years.
Many different voices and approaches have come and gone through the years. ( when we started homeschooling it was still considered a crime in some states.) I sense your ideas and writings are a part of the great continuum of what is true, genuine and good about life, children and homeschooling. Thank you
I have 6 children, two I am homeschooling. Oldest 32,29,25,21,18,13.
History is the how we primarily homeschool. 18 years ago We studied Egypt and still have the hieroglyphics to prove it:) the visual memories of reading and occasionally creating costumes or swords, whatever the time period is there for life. And geography goes right along painlessly.
My kids are 14, 10, 4, and 2. They love Native American history and early pioneer life.
My kids are 8 and 4. We read the Little House series last year and they really enjoy learning about pioneers and settlers. This also fits well with studying our state history – Kansas. Thanks for the great giveaway!
