An awesome homeschooling moment.....

My good friend, Leah, who also homeschools, has given me lots of good advice. She told me recently that not all days will be wonderful. In fact, most will be crazy and you will feel like you didn't get much accomplished. I have gone into this homeschooling adventure, with that in mind, hoping for the best. It has been hard to do this with Seth and Addie raising a ruckus and wanting to watch TV or play on the computer while we are doing school. But, they are getting used to it. I tell them during "recess" they can do those things. So, Seth always asks if it "recess" yet! LOL! (It is right now and Addie is breathing down my neck because she wants to play on the computer!!!).

Well, today Sasha and I had a very cool homeschooling moment. We have been learning about biographies and today we read one about Abe Lincoln. It was well-written for children and we both enjoyed it a lot! I had her write what she learned about him in her composition journal. She wanted to know about slavery and we talked about it and how Abe Lincoln opposed it. I could see the wheels in her head turning as she thought about slavery and how wrong it was. It was just so neat to talk with her about it and to see her learning right before my eyes. I am so glad I am homeschooling.........
