Wish I'd had it when I started. This is a great lesson for newbies. Wish I’d had it when I started.

Although we have some differences to getting started in our different countries, I am so glad I don't have to go through the exemption process again. We start our day with a sort of circle time of sorts and do a devotion during this time. My girls and I love that and the lessons we learn. Assignment 1. I do need to work on my relationships with the girls because I find that as I am with them 24/7 I don't set aside special one on one time with them often enough. Thanks for the reminder.

I hadn't thought of that and with an infant (almost 6 mo.) I haven't been able to stick to my exercise goals as I'd liked. Now maybe it will work out.

I'm looking forward to using these and in the lessons to come! We use the "delight-learning" for the younger kids and have hundred of books around here. We're blessed to have a church "thrift shop" here, where all the books are free, and lots of schooling books are available sometimes, too. :-) These are great suggestions in Lesson 1, Terri!

This morning we did and everyone came together and worked much better, even when they went off to their independent work!

Our summer was hectic and I needed the reminder of WHY we're homeschooling. Thanks for the encouragement to start the year by enjoying learning with our children.

My older ones are high school and middle school aged and we have homeschooled from the beginning. But, I feel like I need to get back to the basics of why we homeschool as I start these two little guys and am enjoying this series. I feel reassured that we are doing ok and am gleaning some new ideas for all 4 kids, especially the circle time - I love this idea!

Keep it simple sweetie!! You sure have done that in this lesson. Homeschooling can be so overwhelming, especially to someone just getting started. While this was great to read as a veteran of seven years, I can also wholeheartedly recommend it to a newbie as well. We have enjoyed copywork for a long time. Thanks for the reminder of its benefits. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple sweetie!! You sure have done that in this lesson. Homeschooling can be so overwhelming, especially to someone just getting started.

As for circle time (we call it morning devotion and prayer time) I totally agree that starting the day together with God sets just the right tone for the rest of the day!
