As homeschoolers for over 25 years, we have a bazillion books, but this
modest volume is a treasure for homemakers and homeschoolers alike.
Homeschool reviewer Cathy Duffy used our suggestion in her book that
homeschoolers take a chapter per week or so, read it (older students
manage just fine on their own), and then do practical projects that come to
mind based on the theme of that chapter. If the student is responsible, they
may suggest their own projects under whatever level of supervision or
approval is reasonable for them. Younger students might work with parents
and siblings on family projects. It is most suitable for high schoolers or
mature middle schoolers, but moms could read it themselves and use it as
a guide to develop lessons for slightly younger children.
Feel free to take longer if an area really grabs your interest - thats the time
to capitalize on the spark!
Add discussion, short written work, such as essays or answers to the
authors questions, a report if a students interest is piqued on a topic (e.g.,
Japanese flower arranging, a history of sourdoughs, etc.) as you wish. The
work may be as formal or relaxed as suits your familys style.
Dont forget that there is art even in baking bread, shaping it beautifully,
and presenting it at the table in a basket - perhaps with an embroidered
cloth.
Remember the authors wonderful spiritual emphasis throughout and use
all your daily experiences in making a Christian home and passing on
those skills as a ministry to your children and to others the Lord may bring
your way to disciple. The things in our homes are temporary - except the
souls of the people! God bless your learning adventures!
