We are a homeschooling family...we play, we laugh, we learn! Every day is an adventure with countless possibilities of fun and learning. I do try and make plans of an evening and have a guide of what I would like the boys to achieve but often by midmorning my planning has taken a back seat as the boys interests take the lead. This is OK, really it is. Mr Social has only just turned 5 so his education is very flexible. The topics I cover every day in some form or other are bible scripture memory, reading and handwriting, and other subjects are covered as and when.
For instance the start of the world cup led my football crazy boys to have a geography lesson as we made all 32 participating countries flags and mapped them out on a giant floor map.
I am happy with this flexible approach to achieve education in these early years, I have ideas for a more structured curriculum for when Mr Social is older but right now we are having fun discovering the world around us and learning to read.
Our days are having often busy but what an exciting opportunity to learn alongside my children and be able to give them the best education!
