This week, we want to hear about YOU. The author behind the words. The Momma behind all the homeschooling kiddos. Just write up something about you, your family, and your home. How long you’ve been homeschooling and why you decided to homeschool. It doesn’t have to be anything lengthy at all, but we’d love to hear it! You might include a family photo too!
Hello! My name is Kim and I live in beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada, with my husband Andrew and our three children ~ Nathan, Emily, and Ben. We have homeschooled off and on over the past few years. I homeschooled my oldest son until the end of Grade 3, and my daughter until the end of Grade 1. Then all three of my children attended a local Charistian School for grades 4, 2, and K5. They attended that school for three years, and then returned home for the following year.
To say that things did not go well during our year of Homeschooling is an understatement! Nothing went right! I was not focused (or committed) enough to make the year a success. The kids did not and would not apply themselves. Soooo, the whole year ended as a failure. Instead of repeating another disasterous year, we enrolled them in the Christian School once again this past year.
Part of the reason for the difficulties we faced was due to the Curriculum we were using. I LOVE the Curriculum, it just didn't love us! I found it to be too much for one person to try and teach three different grades.
We are planning on Homeschooling our children again this year, and hopefully (and prayerfully) with the Lord's help, things will go better! I am trying a new aproach to our schooling. Instead of a particular Curriculum, I am going to draw from a variety of different sources. Mix things up a little. My children are in Grades 9, 7, and 5 this year! YIKES!!!!! I must be crazy!!!! Please Lord, you HAVE to help me!
I am looking forward to a new year, and then at the same time I am terrified of it as well! If you think of us, please pray for the Lake family!
I look forward to getting to know you all in the upcoming months!
