For our 4 yo son, we just did some phonics and games, read aloud, read Bible stories, etc. Most of the time, he played with toys, played some educational CDroms, drew pictures, put together puzzles, built with Legos and Builderific, and hanged out with the rest of us.
All three kids also attended the local homeschool chess club twice a month. They have participated in three tournaments (against public elementary, middle-school, and high-school students). Our homeschool chess club (which consisted of different ages and skills) has never lost yet. All our kids are great chess players. Our 7 yo son is so far undefeated (in all 3 tournaments)!
They also went to our homeschool group’s Friday School (fun activities for local homeschoolers), went on field trips, and attended four Oregon Symphony’s Kinderkonzerts (Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion).
We thanked the Lord for another year of learning and growing together in the grace and knowledgeof our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Homeschooling has been such a blessing for all of us. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We have had our shares of struggles in our homeschool journey/adventure..but no regrets whatsoever!
