Homeschool

Two years ago, after much thought, we decided to home school. It was the best decision we could have made!! We love the extra time together and the freedom it gives us. We spend 4 hours a day working on school, and then we are done for the day. This allows extra time for scriptures and chores giving the kids lots of time to just be kids. By the time the neighborhood kids are out of school, mine are ready to play till dinner and with no homework they can go back out and play till bed time! We use the K-12 curriculum (we belong to a Lawrence Virtual School). It allows my children to work at their own pace! They are all working above grade level which is exciting! My 3 year old is even writing and reading 2 and 3 letter words! I enjoy seeing how close my children have grown together. Yes they still have the normal sibling spats, but they don't fight like they used to. They would come home from school, after not seeing each other all day, and be fighting! Now its just a spat here and there. They have learned to work together and compromise, leaning on each other for advice and help. Its awesome!
