It’s that time of year where families gather together, enjoy great food, and spend time catching up. It’s also a time to reflect upon the things in our lives for which we are thankful. Some have the tradition of every person sharing something they are grateful for around the table before they eat or simply thanking God in a unison prayer of thanksgiving.

These words are what Charlotte Mason used to describe what homeschooling should be. It’s about more than just books and facts but rather teaching your children the ideas to run with as they explore and discover the things around them. A child learns so much from their home environment, and it is a privilege for parents to be able to teach them at home where learning can happen together as a family. As you share this journey of homeschooling with each other, you work together to build good habits, character, as well as academic skills.

Summer is all about the warmer weather, beautiful gardens, and fun outdoors. Help your little ones take full advantage of everything summer has to offer by experiencing it with all five senses. By teaching our kids to appreciate all the 5 senses, we encourage them to look at life in different ways and develop a deeper appreciation for the things around us. In turn, as they grow with these skills, they will learn to approach new experiences with an even more open mind.
