The Heart of the Matter Meme this week is an end of the year reflection about our homeschooling...here are our biggest triumphs and biggest challenges:
Our Biggest Triumphs
*Noah learning to read really well.
*Zach completing a series of stories about different family members (we loosely based this on the Write Your Roots curriculum) that we will have copied and bound to give to family members.
*Debbie surviving the year with working part time and homeschooling (bulk cooking with a friend has helped greatly in this area!!)
*For all of us...learning how to work together and get along when life gets stressful. We have made a lot of strides in this area.
Our Biggest Challenges
*Time Management (this goes for the mom as well as the boys!)
*For me, keeping the right perspective...learning that it isn't as important to check off everything on your to-do list as it is to have a love of learning.
*Also for me, having patience (which is also my word for the year)
*For Noah, learning how to be positive in his work.
*For Zach, learning how to push through and get the hard, not-so-fun stuff done.
While it was a good year overall, there are many things that I would want to change. One of them in particular for me is to slow down and not get so uptight when everything doesn't get done. This will probably be a life long struggle for me!
So how did your year go? What were your biggest triumphs and challenges???? I would love to read your comments on how things went.
