I know Ella is a few years away from going to school but I found something that got me a little excited!
Justin and I have talked about it and we are leaning towards homeschooling our family. We want our children to be educated, but we also want them to be able to learn their own ways, not out of strict "cookie cutter" teaching. We also want to be able to teach them gospel principles through their academics. And of course, we want to have fun along the way!
I came across "Latter-day Learning: The Family School." It was formed 43 years ago to accommodate the needs of homeschooling LDS families (Like me!)
I was looking through some samples and the overall layout of the lessons are superb. The structure of each subject embeds fundamental truths about the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a recommended schedule that can be followed, but of course the schedule can be altered if needs be.
Anyway, it's just something for us to think about and I had to write it down before I forgot. :)
