Homeschool moms seem to always be toggling between capitalizing on the educational value of their child’s interests, and Making Sure We’re Getting Things Done. I know I do!
I’ve always loved to encourage my children in the things they love and are interested in, and it’s a win-win for all of us when we can get educational value out of it. But sometimes taking the delight-directed approach or the DIY unity study approach can feel intimidating. How will it work? What will we do? What can I do to encourage AND enhance their interests? Will we ever feel like we have accomplished anything? And if you are living in a state that requires more documentation for your homeschooling, how can you structure delight-directed educational pursuits to be easily translated into what you need?
Well, I got a copy of Marcy Crabtree’s beautiful new ebook, Delightful Planning*, and I was immediately inspired and excited and knew that a lot of you ladies are going to love this too! This beautifully-done resource walks you through the concepts and steps for creating your own delight-directed unit studies, and then she gives you the tools to actually make it happen! It includes printable forms for calendars, planning sheets, reading logs, book reports, journaling pages, field trip planning forms and journals, fun ideas, recommended resources, and more! Marcy has really thought things through both for the content included and the layout and design of the forms. It’s SO nice!
You will love the colors, graphics, and layout of Delightful Planning*. You will be so happy to get it all printed out and into a notebook so you can get right to work planning an extremely joyful school year! The price of this lovely resource is a true bargain, as it will give you so much clarity and help you see past the confusion and uncertainty that you may have been feeling about learning according to the interests of your children. Your kids will love getting so much input about what they’re doing for school, and you will love seeing it all come together in a way that feels more complete and productive.
