Give us ……

January 15, 2018 By Annette1 12 Comments

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. :) Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

So this is actually a hard post to write…how do I talk about what homeschooling looks like when we haven’t schooled all week?   It’s the subject of this week’s virtual Curriculum fair hosted by hosted by Susan @ Homeschooling Hearts & Minds.   Last we we talked about our reasons to homeschool.

What does homeschooling look like?   I suppose it depends on the week.

 

Give us a household illness and homeschooling looks like three people supporting each other as we recover from the flu which has left us with no brains and little stamina.

Give us a field trip and you’ll find three people out of the house, taking pictures and making notes as we learn this history of our past, the how-to’s of how a business works, ask questions of how plants grow, experience the wonder of the world God created.

Give us a computer and we learn engineering, math, science, history, language arts, and so much more.  Give us the power of youtube and ant farms are built, history is learned, science is experienced and geography broadened. 

Give us a work book and we know we can move on page after page, writing, journaling, equating, documenting, filling in spaces, learning, growing, becoming someone more…

Give us books to read and our lives are filled with imagination, questions, wonder, knowledge and so much more.

Give us a co-op and you’ll find anger and laughter, learning and teaching, friendship and fun, stretching and growing and being more than we already are. 

Give us a messy house and you will find us cleaning, working, renovating, tidying, rearranging, selling, boxing, and decluttering.

Give us bunnies and you will find us undertaking animal management, biology, compassion, building, carpentry, gardening, growing, blogging and all things rabbity.

Give us people and friendships will be made, toleration achieved, opinions challenges, games played, feelings hurt and felt well in abundance.  Cooperating, challenging, growing, helping, healing, and fellowship deepening. 

Give us a blog and research, and joy, and friendships will blossom. 

Give us publication companies and reviews, reading, sharing of opinions and joy will abound. Frustration and learning how to be nice when something appeals not in the least. Commitments and timetables learned and mastered. 

Give us the world…. and you will be totally surprised where it takes us.  

Give it to us and we’ll fit it into our learning and our lives. 

What will YOU give us?

    I love this so much!! Such a great picture of how homeschoolers can adapt and learn and grow no matter what situations arise. Life doesn’t always go as we’d like, and homeschooling isn’t always picture-perfect, but for the most part we make the most of what we’ve got to work with.

    Lovely look at a life of learning adapted to whatever is currently happening. Looking for opportunities and grasping the life you are given. I love this!
