As a Homeschooling Mom of 20 years however, I recognize that all my planning, dreaming, preparing, and resolving, is about as good as most New Years Resolutions! At best, it gives me some semblance of direction. At the worst, it will make me feel like a failure come the second week of "school."
Does that mean I don't do it? By no means! It is good for me to evaluate and reflect, and if only 20 % of what I hope for actually occurs to my dream standard, that is 20% more than if I did not dream.
So, dream I will, choosing to smile when we hit the mark, while choosing to refocus when I go wide.
Our Agenda:
- Study up for our trip to Israel
- Go to Israel
- Ballet
- A new Language Arts Curriculum
- A new year of Math - Decimals and Percents

- Half a day a week for her to explore her interests
- Exploring History (her favorite subject) through The Great Courses - continue working on Ancient History, and add a section on Explorers
- Field Trips to the Museum of History on a regular basis
- Bible Study and Devotionals
- Continue with a variety of chores - a sense of responsibilty
- Reading through some selected books on subjects like money management, leadership, and a classic or two.
