My home-school thought for today is nothing new and it includes all of your family. Get everyone involved! If you are reading about the Gold Rush with your third grader then you can also read about it to your pre-schooler and toddler at the same time. Now my pre-schooler I can actually make up questions tailored to her. My toddler gets more excited if there is an art project that we thought of to go with it. She will tend to stick it out more. I am finding more and more that I like it better when I can do lessons that involve everyone and I really believe that it benefits the little ones. They get to see their sibbling behaving like a student and peanut here below like to raise her hand to answer questions. She will usually mimic what one of her older sisters said as an answer. It is so cute.
Home-school......it's a family thing.

You are so right! I went to a one-room country school house and we always listened in on the older kids' lessons and then had to teach the younger kids. That meant we covered each subject three years in a row. That tiny school is still open and has a long waiting list to get in. The kids have outstanding scores on all the tests.
