I did too. It's such a nice feeling to find a book you feel good about -- like a diamond in the rough. I enjoyed the school part concerning the grade-levels, too, and agree that's one great thing about homeschooling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-58695577865121782372009-03-13T17:32:00.000-04:002009-03-13T17:32:00.000-04:00I enjoyed the Little House books when I was in Hig...I enjoyed the Little House books when I was in High School, actually. Years later, I bought them for myself and to read to my daughter. "They" were in the process of expanding the books and completed the ones centering around Rose. I think they completed, or came close to completing, the ones centering around Caroline. The books centering around Martha, I think it was, didn't seem completed yet.<BR/><BR/>It was definitely enjoyable reading, following a Scots-girl and her female line all the way down to Rose.<BR/><BR/>And, of course, the Chronicles of Narnia series shoud be mandatory reading for your Will and Mary. :)<BR/><BR/>Shout out to Fierfox for linking to this blog. Katherine, salute your husband for me. And cudos for home schooling your children instead of letting their minds be poisoned. I did that for 3 years with 1 child on top of working full-time, and the energy output and occasional frustration was well worth it.<BR/><BR/>I told a story on my blog I titled <A HREF="http://truthbeforedishonor.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/raise-up-a-child/" REL="nofollow">Raise Up A Child</A> which dealt with my own child-rearing experiences. And now, <A HREF="http://truthbeforedishonor.wordpress.com/2009/03/07/just-a-couple-pics-of-my-daughter/" REL="nofollow">my daughter</A> has greatly outclassed me. Home schooling is definitely worth the time and expense, and I bow to you for your dedication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-34335997988712943082009-03-11T16:44:00.000-04:002009-03-11T16:44:00.000-04:00I read this book to my daughters a couple of years...I read this book to my daughters a couple of years ago - it's wonderful! I think the author was influenced by the Montessori method. Glad you found it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
