The DECISION

About 4 months ago, I felt God was laying it on my heart to homeschool.

I like our elementary.

I love Ethan's teacher.

Public school is going just fine.

But the idea of homeschooling has kept popping up over the last 2 years - and specifically a strong nudging over the past 4 months.

So Dan and I prayed about it.

God seemed to keep giving me confirmation after confirmation that I was supposed to do this next year.

So with the curriculum (from alpha omega) decided upon and it being on a 20% off sale in April,

Dan and I made the final decision to try homeschooling next year.

Don't know if it will be just next year, or longer.

But that is the decision for now and I thought you'ld like to know :)

The Curriculum

(minus Ethan's Math)

(Oh - and their "desks", too!)

We'll be using workbooks for Reading/Vocab/Math.

I really like the idea of using "unit studies" for the history/science portions.

I can teach Ethan and Kaylin at the same time/same topic and it is more hands on "fun" learning.

I also really like this publisher because it is very much a Bible-based curriculum.

I'm excited that "Bible" will be a subject listed on my children's school schedule!

And in case you are wondering -- Prayer will very much be in this school! :)

And just 1 example of a confirmation from God? ...

The garage sale I just had made enough to cover the cost of the curriculum :)

(not chump change, people!)
