Torah I went over to Restoration of Torah Mimistries and downloaded the children’s parsha study. This week, we have been studying Rebekah at the well. I love this story.

Rubber boot homeschool week #7

homeschool spontaneity

This week I would like to write about spontaneity. Homeschooling is a beautiful thing, because it allows for spontaneity.
