Why I Love Teaching My Kids

Though there are many reasons I am glad I decided to homeschool my children, one of my favorite things is moments. Moments that are precious. Moments that I wouldn't want to give away to anyone else. Everyone says "They grow so fast! Enjoy every moment". Well, that is exactly what I want to do. Some of my favorite moments, some of the most adorable, quarky things about my kids happen in these teaching moments. Here is a little glimpse of our precious moments.

Elijah likes to be creative with his letters. This is his name written in 'Monster' font. LOL.

Elijah kept adding a little curl to the bottom of his numbers. I asked him if he was writing curly numbers. He then informed me that he was making a 'genie shoe' 3. LOL, I LOVE his creativity. He had 'genie shoe' 7s, 2s, 4s, 8s, etc, all over his worksheet!

While Ellijah does his math worksheets, the younger ones do more playful math learning- patterns, shapes, counting, etc. Here, I told Bria that she had made such pretty flowers with the shapes. She then informed me that they were spaceships, NOT flowers. LOL. :0)

Memphis made a cool beehive.

Then, Memphis was SOOO excited to show me the spider head he made with the shapes....scary! Even has pinchers! But, soooo creative! And well done.

These little moments, these sweet little bits of their personalities are so deeply enjoyed by me. I would hate to miss these moments while they are here....for they will soon grow and in the blink of an eye these moments will be gone. And, I'm so grateful I get to share in these moments with them. I get to praise them for their creativity, encourage their imaginations, and cultivate the future. This is why I love teaching. Moments. Precious Moments.
