Homeschooling Wednesday

It's a busy Wednesday here in Nebraska. Luke has library storytime, and both boys and I will be attending a mock city council meeting with the rest of our homeschooling group. The mayor will spend about an hour discussing city-related concerns with the group. Then Trent is off to trombone lessons, and oh, did I mention school work? Yep, Trent is working hard on a biology chapter on evolution, from the wonderful Exploring Creation with Biology text from Apologia. He's also reading a short story and completing a story plot flow chart as well as a reader response worksheet. In addition, he's starting a new chapter in World History, reviewing his spelling words, spending about 15 minutes writing creatively, working on Latin and completing an algebra lesson on word problems. Whew!

It's been said that perhaps homeschooling is not rigorous enough. To this I say, "Yeah, right!" Some believe homeschoolers lack socialization opportunities. To this I say, "So far from the truth! On the contrary, my boys have many opportunities to socialize -- in a positive, safe environment!"

Lovely blessing, this homeschooling:-)
