Homeschool

Last week I started Homeschool with my little Caleb. He is 2 years old, so he doesn’t have very “extensive” classes, but they are little things that we do every day with the goal of introducing, reviewing, and learning new things. A friend of mine recommended a few Internet sites to me that have a curriculum for 2-year-olds. At first it seemed a little strange to me that there was a “2-year-old curriculum,” but I really loved the idea, since it helps to organize everything that you want to teach your children.

I have decided to use  http://www.abcjesuslovesme.com/ as a guide and I am super excited. It has a a lot of good ideas and the best part is that it is based on the Bible (even though I don’t have all the required materials, I try to do the best that I can). The webpage is in English so I am adapting and translating the material for now. I’m also using a lot of ideas from other websites. I’m subscribed to so many different websites!

One of the other things that I’ve considered is little Caleb’s personality. Everyone that knows my son knows that he is very energetic and is always jumping off the walls. So, I don’t want to “make him” stay in a seat for hours, because he will get bored and won’t enjoy the things that he is going to learn. So what I decided to do is write down on a sheet of paper all the things that he is going to learn that week, and then I teach him a little bit each day. The “classes” don’t even last 10 minutes, but Caleb really pays attention and is happy to learn.

I am so excited, and I enjoy every moment teaching my son. I know without a doubt that God has given me the gifts and talents to teach children (which I really enjoy), so how can I not teach my own children, right? Well, I have embarked on this beautiful journey called “Homeschool,” and I love it.
