Kayden found a new interest! He’s now decided that his next venture will be to learn archery! 🏹 -
I love that he’s able to find things he’s interested in and go for them! -
Now we just have to find a place for him to go and explore this new interest!

Always remember to enjoy the small things in life! Even if the small things are sitting on a replica of the Iron Throne pretending you rule the lands! 👑👸🏰 .

If you’re interested in seeing education in a different way I highly recommend reading some books by John Holt! -
“All I am saying can be summed up in two words: Trust Children. Nothing could be more simple, or more difficult. Difficult because to trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves, and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted.” – John Holt

Sometimes learning new things happens as a whole family in the most unexpected ways! We joined in on one of the activities at the local museum this Saturday. Warren and the kids got to make perogies for the very first time! It was such a fun experience and probably something we would have just thought of doing with our Saturday afternoon if we didn’t go to this class! I’m thankful for all the amazing opportunities that we can find wherever we go. .

Reading was a struggle for Kayden from our very first day of homeschooling and honestly even before that. The issue was that the kindergarten teacher and then myself were trying to teach him how to read in a way that just didn’t work for him. -
It wasn’t until we took a different approach on reading that he began to pick it up. We spent an entire year working on the phonetic sounds of each letter, learning the small words that don’t follow the phonetic rules (ie. the), and reading aloud to him. Laying that incredibly firm foundation was exactly what he needed to flourish. -
So, if you have a child who is struggling with learning something you might just need to take a different approach at it. -
Book in the picture: The Secret Of The Hidden Scrolls #5 The Shepherds Stone by @themikejthomas 📚 A fantastic series that takes you on time traveling adventures to different significant points in the bible! .

Waiting until my children are ready to learn something has been one of my favourite parts about homeschooling. It has also been one of the hardest parts about our homeschooling journey for me to accept. -
Looking back at our very first year of homeschooling when my son was in grade one I was so hard on him and myself. My fears about him not being able to read at the “right” age meant I was constantly stressed and upset with our progress. Lots of the time I even overlooked all of the amazing things he was learning and all the skills he was mastering because I was so stuck of this idea that he was behind and I was failing him. -
I wish that I would have realized sooner that all children are different, learning things at different times, and that’s okay! -
Now, we approach all of our homeschooling in a way that my children are actually enjoying what they are learning because they are ready to be learning those things. If that means they are “behind” then I’m alright with that. If that means they’re “ahead” then I’m also alright with that. At the end of the day I am confident that my children are exactly where they need to be! -
Just incase you’re interested, we are currently using All About Reading by All About Learning Press! It’s by far our favourite reading recourse! (And trust me we tried a bunch when I thought I needed to fix my son😂) .
