It is official!

The Anderson crew are registered, legal, official, homeschoolers!   EJ, Guice, & Evergrace's last day was Monday.   It was all a bit spur of the moment, that's how we roll.  We have gotten tons of questions about our choice to homeschool.  Our kiddos were doing excellent in public school, little overachieving geniuses ;).  A lot of people turn to homeschooling when public school fails, not the case with us.   It's really super simple, we want our children to have a Christ centered education.  We just could not fit in bible study (as a family), family worship, scripture memorization, character building and simply pointing them to Christ while attending public school. We are super busy with church, we are there more nights than we are home.  Most days our interaction with the children mainly consisted of barking orders to hurry.  Also, I missed my children dearly.  After much (although quick) prayer we submitted our request and contacted the superintendent to wave the 14 day waiting period.  I have researched curriculum for years, honestly.  I knew exactly what we would use, although no idea what to order.  A huge shout out to my BFF, Lindsay for basically doing it for me :).  We went with a classical curricula, heavily influenced byCharlotte Mason approach.  Of course, Christ centered which is by far the most important.   We are using Heart of Dakota and are super excited about it!  I also attended our local homeschool co-op.   I think it will be beneficial to the kiddos for making friends.   hope to post frequently about our homeschooling journey!
