Homeschooling: It's Not Just About 180 Instructional Days

I already wrote about growing seeds here at Many Little Blessings (just last night), and was planning to write a different article, but also on the topic of our seed growing over at The Homeschool Classroom for today.

Instead, as I got ready to write about the lessons that growing from seeds were teaching us, I started to look over the day in my mind. I was then called to write about something else -- something more important.

I want to invite you to pop over to The Homeschool Classroom today to read my reflection about our day yesterday. From talking about The Good Shepherd to holding doors open for old women to Jesus building a church right on top of Peter (or something like that), and then finally to the realization that homeschooling isn't just about 180 instructional days.

This is why I love homeschooling! It amazes me how much they learn from everyday things. We have a garden and my son is waiting for the lettuce to be ready to make a salad...that he will eat. This is major! I can't get him to eat lettuce on a hamburger now. Growing it has made all the difference.

Great post! When people ask them if they have a day off school in the store, I usually explain that they're homeschooled, so they have school everyday! :-)
