Teach your children to learn to love and to love to learn.
I found a new website today, Home School Enrichment, which is a Christian home school site. So far I like the articles in it very much.

A homeschool day?
Tuesday, DS1 and I stayed home because we thought he might have chicken pox. He didn't, and we had a great day. Sometime in the afternoon, I thought, "If we were homeschooling and documenting, I could write a lot about today."
Science - animal sounds (computer) and animal names (Noah's Ark puzzle)
Science / Health - watched "Potty video" several times
Computer - mouse & keyboard skills
Math - counting 1-26 (giraffe puzzle), counting 1-25 forward & backward (hopscotch)
Language Arts - alphabet (giraffe puzzle and the Noah's Ark puzzle), reading (mommy reading books & DS1 looking at animal names on the back of Noah's Ark puzzle), recognized his name in an email & then typed it himself
P.E. - playing catch, running, marching, hopping (hopscotch)
Art - drawing on the sidewalk
I am looking forward to being home with both boys so much!

Kansas Christian Homeschool list
Receiving the etiquette file posting this morning from the email list (in the title) has prompted me to ask for prayers.
>We would be privileged if you would share your prayer requests with us.
My husband and I need wisdom regarding finances and our house. We both currently work outside the home, and our 2 boys (ages 17 months & 34 months) are in day care. My dream is to quit my job when our house is paid for and homeschool the boys. That should happen the summer after my older one turns 5 -- only slightly more than 2 years from now. It seems backwards, daycare then homeschool, but that's the way it is going for us. Anyway, we live in a small 2 bedroom house. It is SO tempting thinking about a new bigger house, each boy having their own room, or even adding on to our house. But if we do that, it would be a much bigger financial challenge for me to stop working for pay.
