School is over

Another year of school is finished for Trevor and Tanner, Tyler has just a few more days to finish up. they have worked hard this year and finished ahead of schedule even with all of the travels we had to do. never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would homeschool my children. We just finished up our third year of homeschooling. I dreaded it every time I thought about it. That first year I could not understand why I had to teach school to my children ( the older boys were attending a christian school). Then when we felt led to go to the mission field i knew why I had to homeschool. Since that first year I have felt more confident about teaching, and have been getting into finding different ways to teach and different books to use. it is more fun to me to be able to shop for school things. I actually enjoy it. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some rough times and days that have many ups and downs, but we made it through another year. If anyone has any ideas on math I would appreciate it. I am still trying to find a math that will work for my kids. We have done A beka and ACE math and both have been a trial. I plan on starting Alexis in Kindergarten soon so that I have time to concentrate on her before the boys start back in school this fall.
