Welcome!
My interest in home education began even before I was married. I was teaching in a "one room school house" (just like Christy!) in the early 1980s. I told my husband-to-be that if I could teach 8 - 12 kids from different families with different backgrounds, surely I could teach our own. However, we did not actually start homeschooling until 1993 when our oldest was in fourth grade and our older son in first. Our younger son was a year old and wanted to be in the middle of everything (literally!) He would sit in the middle of the dining room table while his older sister and brother worked on school things with me.
We had been schooling at home for a couple of years, and I was nearing burn out. I remember the day my husband came home from work and asked how things had gone. I said, "The kids are hating this, I am hating this, and I'm ready to send them all to school, and right now boarding school is looking good. BUT, take a look at this catalog and let me know what you think. I'd really like to try this." I handed him the Sonlight catalog which I had been saving and pouring over for more than a year. He took a look at it, said, "Let's try it!" and the rest is history. We have been using Sonlight Curriculum for 13 years now.
We moved from West Virginia to Tennessee in 1997, and a year later I became a Sonlight Curriculum Consultant.
I love sharing with others the joy of literature based learning. If you have questions, feel free to email me at akrug@sonlight.com If you are interested in joining my private forum, please request an invitation.
