We just started week 4 and are having fun. I don't believe for a minute that education needs to be anything but enjoyable. Our days are filled with learning, even when the school books are put away because as long as you are alive, you are learning. With our school classes well under way, I began tutoring my neighbors child. His parents were very happy with the turn of events, their son who had been having a hard time getting his homework done, got it all done in a matter of minutes. Can't even say that it was all in the hour we spent in tutoring because a large part of that time we were exploring his thoughts on the homework. I'd say it took us about 30 minutes to get his homework done, but what made it seem to fly by was the fact that it was fun. There was a goal, I didn't bribe him with some sweet or anything I just showed an intereast in what he was doing and shared the knowledge that I had on the subjects in question.
Enjoy the day today with your children as you home school. This is wonderful late summer early fall weather to go hang out in a park and see nature getting ready for winter.
