"Homeschooling???" (addendum)

It is purely by God's grace that we find ourselves on the path of homeschooling. We thank God for providing the means. It is ultimately not about academic achievement or social adjustment but our calling and conviction and responsibility to provide a God-centered environment for raising the child with whom God has entrusted us, for as long as He enables and wills.

The last thing I would want to see happen is a segregation between those who homeschool and those who do not. I have many dear friends and sisters who are teachers and proponents of public education. Many of them provide me with invaluable insights and support and encouragement. And I thank God for them.

A sidenote: I finally checked out The Well-Trained Mind from the library and it looks great. Thanks Lois! I think I am going to order one...

Hi Grace!

You may also want to check out the Tapestry of Grace history curriculum, though it's early yet. The author of the curriculum is a committed believer and has an encouraging blog too!

Lois has probably also pointed you already to the Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching reading, which she's using to teach Matthew reading (he's doing great!).
