This year starting school didn’t include homeschooling for our family. After being in the trenches with my four kidos for 20 years it was a bit of a shock. Do you want to know why we would choose to NOT homeschool our youngest? Well, read on!
Over two decades ago this month, I sat nervously down with my oldest and we started our first phonics lessons. It was so foreign to me as a public school teacher to only have to keep one child’s attention. The subject matter was totally different as I had taught middle school and adults prior to that first day of Kindergarten in our home.
I purchased this course a year ago and worked through the first few lessons.
Honestly I got distracted and never finished but I recently pulled up the class and started going through it again.
It has been such a blessing.
My daughter is headed to college two hours away and all I can think about is
"Did I prepare adequately her for this?"
Sadly the answer is "probably not."
So in July I will be doing a 10 days series about REAL LIFE lessons NOT taught in school.

Summer Learning
However we don't abandon all learning for 3 months. Here are several ways that we work learning into our vacation time. All without being structured or super planned out.
