Last week we finally received enough snow
for our kids to sled and
have tons of
fun. Of course, we took of the day from
schoolwork!!!
Since Steve works
from our home, he joined us for sledding.
Isn’t it
great to have
freedom in your work. We all had a great
time as a family,
sledding and
checking out better places to “play” in the snow. Almost all
of the kids in town
had the day off from school, too. My son
met
friends in the
neighborhood to sled down some “major” hills.
I started to wonder why homeschoolers don’t
take off the first day
of snow. It is such a great memory that my kids will
always have.
For me, making that
memory is more important than doing one
more page in our
Math workbook. The way I see it is
this: If you
take off the first
day of snow each year for 12 years of school,
your child misses 12
days of school. That’s 12 days out of
2100,
if you school about
175 days a year. I think every kid can
miss a
few days in his
school career, especially to make a memory of a
lifetime.
I know my kids will have memories for a
lifetime . . . that of their
parents (& their
dog”) sledding down the hills with them :-)
