PLEASE READ THE REST OF THE HEARTBEAT CONTENTS.  We have lots of great information for you this month.

Dear New and Continuing Home Educators, 

You have entered into an exciting adventure through which you will reap many rewards and benefits.  True, home schooling takes time, commitment, money, and everything you have to give, but it is an opportunity to be involved with your children in a way of which many only dream.  

Home education has been around since the creation of mankind, whereas public school as we see it today is a relatively young social phenomenon.  You are joining the ranks of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Teddy Roosevelt, Sandra Day O’Connor, and numerous others of renown and great achievement.  You will have the opportunity to teach your children to think outside the box, to imagine and create new things, to fully discover who they are and what is their unique purpose in God’s creation.  You will learn right along with them and expand your own knowledge base and understanding.  Your children will discover that learning is a delightful process that never needs to end as they watch you taking on the challenges of enriching your own mind and experience.   

Above and  beyond all of this will be the supreme gift of  knowing your children and being known by them in a depth that can happen best with lots of shared time and energy in the day to day living and learning.  

This website is designed to answer many of your questions, whether as a newbie or a veteran, provide resources* and encouragement, and give you the courage and tools to successfully complete your homeschooling journey.  Many of us have walked the path ahead of you, and can give insights form our experience.  In addition, through our Home School Resource Center in Phoenix, Arizona, we can offer many forms of live support which will be discussed in the following pages.
  

Here’s to a blessed journey!

Holly Craw,
Editor
