I’ve never read their magazine, but just signed up to receive it in the future. I like their take on teaching citizenship through the grades.
I agree. I think they have an excellent perspective on teaching the whole child.

I am in need of OM 2 and OM 4 for the upcoming year.
I found the article “Kindness Makes a World of Difference” very inspirational.

My favourite thing? Just one? Okay, well I love that my kids can be tevhselems, free from the expectation to fit into a mold or act a certain way. They can lie on the floor to write, read upside down, take breaks to dance or pet the cat. They can be tevhselems and explore what that means, daily.
I love all the living books in the Oak Meadows curriculum.

They do have a great list, don’t they? I have incorporated several already. Thanks for stopping by.
Learning in Action
I like that it’s the WHOLE package.
That’s always nice. Get one things and you are done. I know shopping around and rounding up everything can really take a LOT of time. Thanks for stopping by.
I am new to home schooling and love it!! It afdofrs us the wonderful gift of time with our children (two little girls) while they are children ..only once as we all know.I like the slow pace .and the time to get to know each one of them and their personalities .much better than I was before. I feel that home schooling has also drawn us closer together as a family.
I think that the kindness article is great. My belief is that teaching kindness is one of a parent’s first jobs
We are constantly ineurrtpted with dentist/orthodontist appointments, yearly eye exams & physicals, holidays, illnesses, the needs of the childrens’ great-grandparents, field trips, and good weather (something to cherish in the Seattle area, LOL). I refuse to stress about missed days & such in Elementary and Junior High. High school, however, is a different ball of wax. My solution is to outline five and a half days of work each week in a format similar to a college syllabus. If the student does all the work, that’s fantastic. If not, no worries there are usually enough weeks where all the work has been accomplished to make up for missed mornings or even days. So far so good!
Beyond the Classroom was a very good article about the importance of linking learning with the world around the students.
I liked Oak Meadow’s preschool curriculum for its scope and sequence and ease of preparation.
Beyond the classroom: Learning in action was a good article.
I love how much the natural world is incorporated into the lesson plans!
I love to beable to teach my dauthger what I want her to know not what others say she needs to know. We can use great books to learn from. I get to share in her days and learning..not miss out by her being at school all day.
