How did I start homeschooling my children when I had never even heard of homeschooling?
Here's the beginning of the story.
Hey, there!
I'm Mary, the one in the middle. These are the 4 people I spent lots of time with teaching them to read, write, and do arithmetic. I also potty trained them, taught them how to tie their shoes, and ate lunch with them almost every day. I wouldn't trade the time I got spend with them for anything in the world.
I hope you will look back on your homeschool days with fondness and wonderful memories too. I wish that for your children as well.
