what a relief

What a relief it is to be back in the story mode section of Torah. 7 pesukim yesterday in under 10 minutes, and 9 pesukim today. zip, zip, zip. With time for classic questions such as, "Hey, wait a minute. Hashem told Moshe about this before he went down? Then how come got angry he broke the luchos? Did he not believe Hashem?"

How This Began

I am an Orthodox Jew and I've been homeschooling for fourteen years. Teaching chumash is one of the most important subjects, and one of the most challenging. We care so much that our children love Torah. v'shinantam l'vanecha. We want so badly for them to have the skills and the ability. Skills work is a particular challenge for homeschoolers, who have not accepted boredom as a fact of school. Or should I say it is a challenge for the mom/teacher...

My oldest "graduated" homeschool (her choice) and is in high school. When I started, I was teaching chumash to a 3rd grader, with a toddler and an infant for company. We now have one chumash learner, one preschooler, a toddler and an infant.

I largely "unschool" and when I started this blog, I was reading Alfie Kohn. Many of my posts explored this. Although I currently am not brave enough to unschool chumash, I am seriously thinking about it for the boys.
