You’ve got to be kidding me. My province is considering full-time pre-kindergarten programs for 3 and 4 year olds??? Apparently our goal is to be the most literate and best educated jursidiction on the continent and they’re going to achieve this by yanking three year olds out of their homes and placing them in school [...]

Educating in BC
Posted in Faith on July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We live in what is probably the best place in the world to educate children. I have yet to find another place that offers such a diverse range of options for parents to choose from. Sure, I think homeschooling is the educational ideal – but the ”ideal” isn’t always the “best” option. If homeschooling wasn’t both [...]

Activity Bags
The big kids have been away this week so I’ve spent some time planning. A few of my hours have gone to creating Activity Bags for LO. He’ll be 3 in October, but he thinks he’s 7 and he gets mightily offended if everyone else is working and he doesn’t have “real” work to [...]

These are jalapenos. They are hot. If you are cutting them, and some jalapeno juice squirts near to your eye do not go to the sink and rinse the juice away with water. If you do, it will spread the jalapeno juice over the skin of your face and eventually it will get into your [...]
Why would I homeschool?

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which [...]

Family Faith Development Scrutinized
Posted in Faith on July 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I know, intellectually, that Sunday school doesn’t systematically teach my kids about their faith. Yes, it teaches some things about their faith, but it can’t be the only vehicle used to impart a knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith. And yet, I’ve let things go with the safety net of Sunday school and youth [...]

Last year I took Adam Andrews camping. This year, Voddie Baucham and I gardened. I’m not really sold on gardening yet, but I have some flowers I need to keep alive and that takes time. Thankfully I have an iPod.

Help – I’m buried!

My box of books arrived from Amazon today.
These were mostly historical fiction titles to go along with Early Modern Times. I’m putting together my own plan and had actually forgotten most of what I ordered back in April so it was kind of like Christmas today.
Unfortunately (fortunately?) the delivery prompted me to pull out all [...]
