We are interested in beginning to homeschool our rising K-5 daughter. I would appreciate any information you can offer especially since she really enjoys a classroom situation and we are trying to figure out what will be best for her. Thank you!
Blessings,
Katy
Katy – Thank you so much for your comment! I began homeschooling our oldest son when he was beginning first grade. He is now in eleventh grade!
I think that your family should begin by praying for wisdom as to what the Lord would have you do in regard to schooling your daughter. If it is your conviction that the Lord is calling you to homeschool, then He will enable you to do it, relying on His strength.
At five years old, many things change quickly. The wonder of having one-on-one time with parents and family in a reponsive home environment can far outweigh classroom advantages for children. I highly recommend attending the Introduction to Homeschooling Workshop offered on June 9th at the 2011 Coastal Home Educators Conference. You can also purchase the seminar for $36.00 from Search the Scriptures [HSS100 Home Schooling Seminar (with Carl & Audrey Broggi)].
If you are in the Beaufort area, you could also attend our monthly Mom’s Fellowship meetings at Community Bible Church. A group of homeschooling moms are there to support, encourage and give good advice:) If you have specific questions that I could answer, email me at charlottecushman@gmail.com and maybe we could get together, talk on the phone or email with each other:) Thanks Charlotte
