This girl does! As much as I wanted to be free and let the wind take us where it desired, my brain can not function without a strategy. Last night I sat down with a pencil and a calendar and charted a course for days off. I have loosely scheduled 186 days of instruction time starting in September 2014 and running its course before June 1, 2015.
I still haven't figured out lesson plans, I know that will come. I do know that I want to create a portfolio for each minion. To ensure that records are kept and they can see just how much we do, together as a family and how they can learn outside of a classroom.
To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition. To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now I will work on our mission statement and what the goals of this journey will be.
