I am loving this ;)

Post by JenO » Fri Jun 05, 2009 8:46 pm

Just wanted to hop on and say that I've been doing Beyond Little Hearts with my 6.5 year old (and 5 year old sitting in), for over a week. It's wonderful. We've had absolutely no problem getting into it. We school year round, so I can be a bit more relaxed. I am trying to alternate things each day with my son. But, for me personally as a mom, I am enjoying the history and science aspects so much. We are ALL having fun! I also love that that biblical teaching is interwoven into so much of it. Most of all, the Lord has used this cirriculum to remind me and encourage me that I *can* really teach my kids well, even though I have a profound special needs child, as well as the needs of other children to meet.

I totally agree with you about Beyond! We are on week 28 and are just as in love with it as at first. It is a wonderful program that is full of fantastic stories that teach such fabulous life-lessons. My 7yo ds wrote a beautiful poem about God looking down on His creation. I mean - this poem was great! I didn't ask him to do it. He just composed it on his own. It blew me away. It came as a natural result of spending lots of time copying beautiful poetry. It reaffirmed for me that the CM method works - just give it time to grow. I'm glad you are enjoying it. You have a lot to look forward to as you progress!

JenO,

I'm praising the Lord with you this evening for your good first week with Beyond and for showing you how He will equip you to be your children's teacher! :D The Lord is truly gracious in providing for all of our needs.

Thanks so much for sharing! I was blessed by your post (and by Laura's response too)! :D

Blessings,
Carrie
