We HomeSchool.
We’re using the chaos theory and the butterfly effect in our daily lives to prove, as Einstein said, that God does not, in fact, play dice.
Simply put, chaos theory is an attempt to see and understand the underlying order of complex systems that may appear to be without order at first glance.
We use many methods and resources in homeschooling. Mainly, we have a guideline of what the kids should know when, we cover the basics, and the rest is filled in by their questions and interests. We want them to know what they should and want to learn more and more along the way. We homeschool because we like spending time with the kiddos, we like guiding what they’re learning, and we don’t want to miss this time in their lives.
Below you’ll find a list of the posts I’ve written about our homeschooling journey.
