Photo Hunt: Education

It's time for a weekly PhotoHunt hosted at http://tnchick.com/. This week's theme is Education.

"Educating our children includes more than arithmetic and spelling; it includes building character.  No educational pursuit can replace the deep need for a generation of children to be brought up first in the ‘nurture and admonition’ of the Lord." ~Rick Williamson 

We home-educate our children. We’re Christ-centered, Bible-based, mission-minded, family-bonding, character-building, & life-long learning homeschoolers.  We cherish our togetherness; we enjoy learning and growing together as the Lord leads us.

Our kids learn at their own pace. They are free to explore and dig deep in the topics they're interested in.
We had some of our kids' works displayed at our local public library.

Lots of books and lots of educational posters :)
We are relaxed homeschoolers...can you tell :)?
Learning math while having fun...education at its best :)

Speaking of education, please check out my daughter's video below. It's her entry to the 2011 College Plus! Scholarship Video Essay Contest.

  2. I'm a former homeschooling mom. My children decided to go to school this school year and since they are in a non-traditional school, they say they love it there.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
