When I was in school I was bored. Routines and structure are great and necessary- but there has to be interest. One of my goals as a homeschooling mom has been to create and maintain a fun and interesting environment. Involving my kids by having them set their own goals has proven successful. They choose things that they’re interested in, and with my guidance we can always fit whatever it is into the curriculum. Where there’s a will there’s a way! Accomplishment is as important as the learning process itself, so writing these goals down and hanging them up, provides a gentle reminder for them over the next few months. Happy 2014 School year everyone!
