More about Landmark

Thanks to some bold commenters, I have found out some new information. This is exactly the research that I elect to do before I allow my son or myself to be exposed to whatever the teaching. I was reading about a lawsuit that was right in my own backyard. It’s pretty scary to read about [...]

Looking to the future

Even though my son is only about four years old, I like to keep up with different educational programs and schools that are available for higher education. It gives me an edge when it comes time to help him decided what he is going to do because I will already know the reputation, location, and [...]

Slacking off

We haven’t been doing too much by way of formal training. Unschooling is fun that way. You don’t have to run around making plans all the time. We have been reading a few books of his choosing. One talks about the inner workings of the body. He is fascinated by the inner human form. I [...]

Hooking up the next generation

I have my son running around singing oompa loompa songs, right? Well he is now requesting repeat performances of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You have to love teaching the younger generation about the old classics. He likes Mario Brothers, too. Heathcliffe is a cat that makes him giggle all day long. Even as [...]

Singing about the Saviour

My son called his grandmother this morning and gave her an impromptu concert. He started off with his own rendition of a song I will call “Jesus is Lord”. That went something like “Jesus Is Lord, Jesus is Lord!” over and over in very loud tones. Then he mellowed into some other songs that he [...]

Brighter Vision: Friends Near and Far

I got another unit yesterday. Weird, because we just got the other one. Well, it came with a cd that reads the book to you. He already did that. He also made the small scrapbook and has been putting his artwork in it. I think we will begin to do that with his larger art [...]

Brighter Vision: Winter Holidays

Well he got his unit today on Winter Holidays and has already put together the snowflake puzzle on his own. Now he is trying to sort out his 8′s and 9′s in the workbook. I get tired of trying to make him stick to the rules of the page. He wants to do what he [...]

Finally pictures of the alien

This the alien that is of his own creation and imagination with no interference from me. He only asked me to help him with the knife arms.

Age appropriate responsibilities 3-4 years old

I was looking for a chart or list of things my son should be doing for himself at his age. I found a good one that gave me some insight into what I am allowing him to do. Right now he can prepare his own peanut butter and jelly or tuna sandwiches set and clear [...]

The first trumpet has sounded…

That’s what my son said. I have never taught him about Revelation or the end of the world… but he said to me on December 30th in the afternoon when he said to me: Taz: Mom, did you hear that? Me: No, what? Taz: the trumpet? Me (beginning to panic): Where did you hear the [...]
