Full Time with children ?
this thread caught my eye as we plan to do the same - full-timers/homeschooling
Our son, Donovan, will be finish with elementary school in five years. We would like to homeschool him during the middle school years (grades 6-7-8) using a Christian curriculum and a really unconventional means of studying each state (northern states in warm weather and southern states in cold weather) by spending roughly a month in each one. By the time we get done with all 50 states we figure he will be through his middle school years. Then taking the info we have gathered from each state we will find a spot to settle down during the four years he will be in high school so that he will have credits and extra-curricular activities to prepare him for college.
We figure on learning a lot ourselves as we study each state - putting together individual scrapbooks with facts, figures, landmarks, history, famous people/inventors, state flower, bird, flag, seal etc. We would visit each state capital, various museums and landmarks - all the places where things started, like the Wright brothers, auto manufacturing etc Science would involve detailed, hands-on studies of water life, animal life, minerals, biology, plants, trees etc which we figure state park nature trail areas to be helpful with.
We're still working out the bugs ... but it's a dream of ours ... we have five years to pray, plan and prepare.
btw - he's our youngest - we will have three children to visit/stay with and family/friends scattered throughout the USA to help provide landing spots.
