We have now been homeschooling for one year. As a certified teacher, I thought I had all the answers. This was going to be easy. Well, this has definitely been a learning experience. A good one.

So now I am looking to next year. There are so many things that I will do different. There are so many things I will do better. I want the girls to be amazed by nature. I want them to soak up new knowledge like a sponge. I want to encourage their creative spirits while feeding their minds.

I have discovered notebooking and lapbooking, which we will use a lot this year.

We are currently doing a Nature Challenge where we visit 13 parks and Nature centers in Southeast Texas over 8 weeks. We do the activities, get the sticker, and come home to create our scrapbook. It is so much fun, and we are all learning new stuff!

Guess that's enough for my first post. Look forward to visiting with other homeschoolers and anyone else interested.
