| Our tour was immensely educational, not to mention wonderfully fun, but we were more than glad to have finally returned home. We can't believe that we are now beginning our third year of homeschooling with an eclectic amalgamation of Charlotte Mason and classical education methodology. Latin, Nature notebooks, math, science, writing, lots of reading, silent and aloud, and of course, history, are all eagerly anticipated! |
| We have been having a wonderful time studying American History--beginning with our marathon month-long Revolutionary War Tour in September of 1999. Williamsburg, Lexington, Concord, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Monmouth, Saratoga, Trenton, Fort Ticonderoga, Valley Forge, Mount Vernon, Washington, D.C. and many other sites were all scheduled stops on our tour! |

| When we first decided to homeschool, I was immediately drawn to Sonlight Curriculum because of its strong emphasis on history. Being Catholic, however, I was afraid that I might not recognize those instances when a Protestant bias was undermining our Catholic faith. I started by listening to Scott Hahn on the internet, was loaned Keatings' book, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, and somehow discovered CatholicSource--the ultimate Catholic Faith Message Board. I'm embarrassed to admit that I really didn't begin to homeschool for religious reasons, but must admit that the spiritual growth my family and I have experienced is the greatest joy in my life--after our Lord, of course! Reading through the Old Testament with my children, my then 9 year old daughter and 10 year old son, several friends and I were inspired to start up a Bible Study group at our parish. We really didn't feel qualified to lead the group and the Lord led us to the most wonderful family which has taken my group in hand. Our God is AWESOME! |
