Anywhere-but-Home Schooling!
When I hear the term "homeschooling," sometimes it just makes me grin. People who are unfamiliar with homeschooling might picture kids in their jammies, gathered around a mother, still in her apron from grinding her own grain and making bread, a fire crackling in the fireplace, burning the wood the oldest son chopped himself, the night before...
Maybe that is how it is done in some places! I would love to visit a home lke that actually, it sounds peaceful.
Now, enter the Vaagen house. When the kids wake up, they eat their bowl of cereal or breakfast of choice, then begin immediately on math. To me, once you get math behind you, the rest of the day just sails right on by. That's when the questions start flying... "Mom, what are we doing today? Where are we going???" See, I have learned that homeschool doesn't have to be done at home.
Here we are at the park, learning about Pocohantas and doing some math.
We're on our way to Homeschool park day!
The little ones enjoy a tailgate lunch....

Here are the kids doing some English while they munch on the Norwegian treat "lefse."
