I love reading your blog...you have so much charm in both your pictures and your writing. As a fellow homeschool mom of five, I was wondering what your approach to homeschooling five (or four, since Daisy isn't old enough yet) children at once might be. You seem very Charlotte Mason to me. I am about to add my 3rd "student", and am a little overwhelmed at having to keep up with the work and progress of so many. Our oldest is nine, so at some point I will actually have all five schooling at once, and the thought boggles me. Any advice would be appreciated.
Mrs. H, I'm not Anna but I saw your question and decided to throw my .02 in! :-) I am a homeschooling mom of 10+ years. Although I have only two daughters, I can recommend unit studies as one way to easy the burden of teaching many different things to many different children. Unit studies are great because you can all learn together. I like to think of it as a bus with the younger children getting off first and the older children getting off last. Unit Studies also mesh REALLY well with the Charlotte Mason approach which I incorporate into our lifestyle of education as well. If you'd like to ask any other questions, please feel free to email me at proverbs3122@comcast.net.
Congratulations, Sara!
