Profile picture and Introduction

I have only posted once but thought I’d make a quick introduction! I’m Tara, a homeschooling mom to 3 girls, Julia age 6, Claire age 4, and Sophia, 18 mos. Julia is in K this year and I’m using Hearts of Dakota curriculum. I have bought the SCM History module 1 for next fall and have been using the Planning your Charlotte Mason Educ DVD and Planner and LOVE it! I’m so excited to be organized for the Fall school year already. 🙂

I homeschooled Julia beginning at age 3 just using ideas off the internet. I used Teach your Child to Read when she was 5, and she learned how to read quickly! She reads books all the time now at a 2nd grade level (I’m guessing).

I really love the Charlotte Mason method and have slowly implemented it this year for K (some nature study and lots of reading books that are good literature after throwing out the twaddle!)

I feel so blessed the Lord has put me in position to homeschool our daughters! It’s funny but homeschooling our daughters for the long term was never an option for me until last spring when my husband and I prayed about sending our oldest to K in public school vs our church’s school. I had no desire to send her to public but just out of convenience (too far to drive to our church’s school each day and the public school is only 5 mins away). After researching what homeschooling is, it clicked with me this is what I want to do! WHY do I *have* to send our daughters to someone else to teach them?? I don’t. 😉 I was a preschool teacher before having my daughters but never really really loved teaching until teaching my own daughters!

I do have one question: How do I put a picture in my profile? 😕 Thanks!

And God bless!

Tara
