Summary of Our Field Trips (2006-2007)
It has been great to revisit old pictures from this past school year. We had the opportunity to visit so many neat places! From a guided tour through Canterbury Shaker Village, to a trip to Odiorne Point (a Seacoast Science Center) to a step back in time at Heritage NH, to a show/activities at the Planetarium on the "spring night sky" to apple picking and learning about maple syrup to a Medieval Feat (where the children "jousted" and recited their Latin Prayer before a group) to some hands on "farm fun" at Remick Museum... We are thankful for our homeschool network and the great opportunities to combine fun and learning.
Our winter activities have included participating in a homeschool bowling league and taking gymnastics lessons. We can hardly wait to begin classes at our homeschool enrichment center. Buddy will be taking a World Cultures/cooking class, and Sis will be taking art (history as well as hands-on). The kids also plan to be in the annual homeschool drama which depicts the life of William Tyndale. I will be assisting the director with the youngest actors, our court jesters. :)

What's With The Name?
I've been homeschooling my kids for 3 years. Last fall we embarked on a new academic adventure and took our first Latin course. The kids got a kick out of one of their vocabulary words, Alma Mater. Alma Mater (while referring to a school) literally means "nurturing mother." They quickly attributed this title to me. After all, I am both mother and school to these little ones. ;) It is a daunting honor to be responsible for the nurturing of these children's bodies, minds and spirits. I pray daily that God will give me wisdom and endurance.
