Teaching Children

Gordon and I are thinking of homeschooling our kids and have been searching out different education programs. There are two types that we have been so impressed with, that I thought I would share them. They really help children cultivate a love for learning by using their natural interests and talents, starting from birth. The methods are the Montessori method and the Thomas Jefferson Education.

Here are the websites:
http://www.tjed.org (Thomas Jefferson Edu.)- they have great connecting links too.

Jeremy and his siblings were homeschooled. He learned a lot more than I did in high school!

You are an amazing mother. :)
