Janet, I think "breaking that public school model" takes a long time. It's not easy! But it's worth it :) Glad you liked it, Annie Kate!

Janet, I think “breaking that public school model” takes a long time. It’s not easy! But it’s worth it :)

We're currently organizing our curriculum and school supplies. It feels like it's time to get back to our lessons (having taken a whole week off after fair). Some days I feel like such a lazy mom because we don't even look at our curriculum. It makes me feel better to read advice like yours. I know that the kids learn the most when they're engaged in doing something rather than sitting in a chair and reading/listening to a lesson. Some days it's just difficult to break that public school model of what school is supposed to look like and go with the flow that allows us to experience life and truly learn. Thanks for the advice!
