I am happy to see that so many folks are stopping by my blog. Whether or not you are a homeschooler I am sure that all of us are aware of the importance of a supportive circle of friends and family as we journey along. If you have time to leave a comment I would love to hear from you.
As few years ago I was at a conference about "Maps and Paths" and the importance of the circle of support. The focus was on people with special needs but the message was applicable to all of us.
The greater our circle of support is the better our chances of reaching our goals. I feel blessed to have family and friends who support our choice to homeschool. The sharing of ideas materials and resources enrich all of us. Our neighbour shares her gift of music to teach the boys drumming. Another friend has shared pictures and stories of his travels around the world. A friend from church has taught the boys how to read weather maps and systems. We are blessed to be part of a diverse circle.
Thinking about this leads me to thinking about how I can share with others.
~ sharing curriculum resources
~ sharing contacts
~ sharing stories and experiences
~ listening
In our bible study discussions the boys have been looking at ways to give back to our community both locally and globally. The boys have benefitted from the support of others and it is important for them to recognize the gift and honor it by paying it forward.
Thanks for being part of my circle.
