My Favorite Educational Life Post

Mission: from the archive posts select my favorite....

difficulty: just one favorite??? really....it's hard to narrow it down.

define archive? does it have to be extremely from way back or is 2 weeks ago archived enough?

I hope 2 weeks is enough because

that post and comments really helped me see that it's ok to stretch out Parables from Nature. These stories I found to be extremely long and I would try to read them in one sitting. Talk about a thirsty momma afterwards....

Again that post and comments helped me see that we could stretch those readings out. What a relief!

If I may, I'd also like to share another eye opening post

http://theeducationallife.blogspot.com/2007/11/adapting-ao-booklist-to-fit-our-needs.html

Eye opening because it gave me freedom to say, me too, I don't follow Year 1 in it's entirety. From the beginning I knew we would not do Trial and Triumph but I didn't know I'd want to wait until my son was a bit older to start the history readings as listed. Again that post just helped me realize that I am not alone.
