Learning @ Home
For those who don’t follow my wife’s blog, you may not know our big news: we’ve decided to homeschool.
In typical ‘Jason & Erika style’, we made a snap decision last week. It came after years of conversation about whether the public system was an ideal learning environment for our children. Last week, we knew the time had come.
The actual curriculum will arrive next week but we’ve already changed our routine. I had today off from church work so I helped Shawna learn the names of the Provinces, Territories and their capital cities. At the same time, I toiled with Elijah to correctly order cards with numbers on them, from smallest to largest.
But that’s not all; we went beyond normal school work into the world of domestic responsibilities:
Shawna learned how to work the washing machine and hang laundry on the line. And Elijah? He learned how to handle weeds.
