WELCOME!

WELCOME! I used this blog to share our family's homeschooling thoughts and experiences. Our oldest child, EL, finished her formal education in May 2017, and we graduated our son, JJ, from High School in May 2021. I will leave this blog up for anyone who wishes to read our curriculum reviews or see what types of field trips and/or activities we participated in.

JJ's JUNIOR YEAR - FALL 2019 Field Trips

Here's a quick peek at some of the interesting places we visited during JJ's first Semester of Junior year. . . .

September 16, 2019 - We stopped at a local cafe' to watch charcoal artist, Mack Leighty, in action. It was interesting to have our questions answered and to watch him work. His charcoal drawings are so incredibly detailed that they look like black and white photographs. 

One of the finished drawings.

September 18, 2019 - A fun trip to Casey, IL, to see all the BIG things, many of which are in the Guinness Book of World Records. JJ is pictured here in a big bird cage with two of his cousins.

November 16, 2019 - JJ took his first college trip with a group of friends/family to visit the campus of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.

Post Office

November 21, 2019 - We took a visit to the local Post Office to see how things are run behind the counter.

We are still exploring job/career options this year, and hope to be visiting several more businesses during this final Semester of Junior year.
