>>>it frees up a bit of my time to do housework, make
breads, and dinner. Then I facilitate testing and quizes. Works for us!
I took exactly the opposite approach. I involved the kids with my housework, gardening, egg gathering, bread making etc., so we spent more time together. We read lots of books together, and explored the fields (Real Field Trips ... LOL), and went places all together all at the same time. We did everything in a crowd! LOL By talking about everything together, I knew how much they knew without formal tests & quizzes.
I have learned however, that every family is different and what works for one, may or may not work for another. In fact, amongst my own children, this is a truism. What works for one, may or may not work for another! My current high schooler actually likes textbooks. I sometimes wonder if I brought home the wrong baby from the hospital! LOL (Not really ... she looks just like her sisters!)
>>>I am wondering about canning simple dinner rolls... or
something of that nature. I am an "experimenter"....know anything about
that??~deb
I have no idea, but it is certainly an interesting concept. Be sure to share if you figure it out!
