Digging Deep ... Starting Fresh, pt 2

Below is what I've woven together, using Simply Charlotte Mason's Curriculum Guide as my foundation, for Sugar's second grade year upcoming. SCM is a resource I have held close in my back pocket for the last five years ... from the time I started pondering home schooling with Sugar.

In really digging deeply into what I want from home schooling I am again led to 1) cultivating a relationship with Jesus and the Bible, 2) adherence to Charlotte Mason's philosophies, and 3) keeping my children on the same topic of study for History, Geography, and Bible to center family time in our days.

It's a work in progress, but I feel good about how it's coming together. Some things here need to be refined ... I don't want to make our days ridiculously full at the expense of curious and passionate learning, and I will have two in Kindergarten and one in Preschool, as well ... so I'll keep digging.

Because of Him.
