Under Construction-- Again...

This week I am reconstructing our Potter's Hand Elementary schedule, curriculum, activities, etc. Basically, what we had been doing wasn't working very well. Too long of days, not enough fun stuff and a mother-teacher who has no idea how much learning her kids can handle!

I expect too much of myself and of my boys. I forget that they aren't little adults, they are little kids. My dear friend, who runs a FABULOUS preschool ministry from her home, took valuable time out of her day on Saturday to give me some pointers on how to organize the time, subjects and crafts. She has a wealth of information stored in her head and she poured some of that into me :)

(As an aside note, if I didn't feel called to be homeschooling my kids I would be sending them to Peaceful Beginnings Preschool! She does amazing stuff with her students!)

Because of her encouragement, I rediscovered my passion for homeschooling. So this week, I will be asking God what He wants my boys to learn. And I will be listening very closely! :)

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths."

Psalm 90:17
"And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands."
