It has been well over a year and I still feel that my reading “The Minds of Boys” was the best thing I did for our homeschool and my sons. I feel it gave me the freedom to follow my son’s lead and realize that he not just wants to but needs to be active to learn. It has transformed our homeschool and has left it more harmonious and enjoyable for all.
I will provide a subject by subject summary of what we tried and what worked and what didn’t work for us this past school year over the next few days. Big Brother started out the year as a 6 year old and ended it as a 7 year old. He was officially a first grader but I do not focus on grade level and just go at my son’s pace (one of our success in homeschooling this year).
