#homeschoolfamly

We are loving the book #idab by #katherinehannigan its written in a different style compared to Trumpet of the Swan (our last book), which took some getting used to for the first few chapters. However, to my surprise the kids have been yelling “one more chpt!” for almost every sitting so far. It’s one of those books you just can’t put down! 🌟 . . This quote right here spoke to my mama heart so much too when I read it.. I think so many children wish we understood this - when they’re so desperately trying to tell us something or interject their own commentary among adults.. Sadly it seldom gets understood this way. A few years ago my babes got into the habit of holding my hand if they had to tell me something but nowadays it’s less common and they just whisper in my ear what they want to say, or patiently wait (these are one of those things that start manifesting as they get older). Either way this is a great reminder for me that most of the time what my kids have to say trumps whatever the feelings or perceptions are - of the adult I’m chatting with has. 🖤 . . The book is really also showing my babes one of the reasons why we loosely do things like math, reading, writing in a relaxed yet rhythmic way vs. radically unschooling..we take things year by year and always consider unknowns like the ones Ida’s family is traversing (such a difficult season). It’s also re-connecting us to all of the reasons why we love #homeschooling and what a privilege, freedom, and advantage it is 🦋🌲. . . It’s a beautiful #homeschoolfamly book and a tear jerker for sure so if you haven’t read it yet, please do! Just keep some tissues handy nearby.. . . . . xo . . . . . #buildyourlibrarylevel2 #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #buildyourlibrary #byl #bylfamilies #readaloudrevival #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreadaloud #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolchapterbooks #homeschoolreading #homeschoolquotes #homeschoolkids #homeschoolfiction #homeschoolstories #homeschoolers #homeschoolcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNcUJVgbND/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3g6ly7uz7wr
