Personality

One of the things I enjoy most about homeschooling my kids is the freedom it gives me to oversee their curriculm. I have found little ways to tweek what they are learning and when they are learning it to suit it best to my kids for instance: Duchess is now doing 2nd grade math in the 1st grade as it's the challenge she needs and MOMMY IT'S FUN! Princess had a month of straight math review as her Utah curriculm was behind in what the A Beka curriculm considered 5th grade math.

However, here is another one of those proud mommy moments for me. Princess has been a poor speller for ages. Honestly she gets it from me as I stink at spelling. Hello spell check! However, the A Beka curriculm is meant to teach our kids a lesson while educating them.

Case in point: Princess' spelling words for last week, the subject was Personalities: The Traits you want to Possess

Energetic
Optimistic
Generous
Trustworthy
Serious
Humorous
Individuality
Faithful
Dependable
Honorable
Diligent
Reliable
Humility
Joel (book of the bible)

Honestly, would I see this spelling list in a public school?

I have never yet.

I'm so thankful that the Lord led us to homeschool my kids. They aren't the only ones learning so very much.
