Vicky didn't want a traditional Geography curriculum:
"Can not wait to start this book. I wanted to do a geography with my son but knew textbooks would not be a good fit. Reading living books was a perfect solution but how to organize information was a struggle. This book will help us keep up with books read, information collected, and foods eaten as we go thru our studies."
S. Evavold says:
"The Fun-schooling methods of home education are an organic way of learning. It closely resembles the way that adult learners acquire new skills and information. Instead of memorizing a long list of facts from a textbook that will only be remembered for a day or two, we study topics that we enjoy, use real books, apply the information to our lives, and discover creative ways and formats to document and share our learning with others.Less is more when it comes to academics. There is no reason to get burned out and stressed by trying to do too much.I also remind myself that I do not need to replicate any artificial and meaningless constructs of institutional schooling. Children do not need grade levels, letter grades, standardized curriculum, learning categorized by subjects, nor tests.Fun schooling is about helping children to discover their interests, passions, talents, and gifts. Some days it will not resemble any aspects of traditional schooling. My children learn everyday as they are immersed in life: serving God and others, doing chores, asking questions, attending church, reading to and playing with their friends and siblings, playing games, enjoying nature, and researching various topics. Bookwork is such a small part of home education. Kids are learning 365 days a year....even on the days that workbooks are not opened. Every academic "subject" can easily be covered through daily life experiences.I believe that purpose of the fun-schooling journals is to allow opportunities for children to document and reflect on what they are learning (portfolios). Children enjoy sharing the documentation of their learning and discoveries with friends and family. The journals incorporate all of the best methods: delight-directed, Charlotte Mason, classical literature and poetry, and unit studies."
