delegation
What a beautiful word! I am a firm believer that one who teaches is really one who is learning the most. Since we have finished up our planned Science book for our current educational year with the older boys, we have decided to let them broaden their Scientific knowledge by delegating Kindergarten & Preschool Science lessons to them.
Sounds like torture, right? Take a look below and see how devastated they are at having to teach their younger brothers . . .

One of the consistent prayers on this momma's heart is that my boys will treasure their friendships with each other. I keep getting glimpses of how our Lord is answering my prayer - I am so thankful.
The remaining eight weeks on the school calendar will be a lot of fun - if we can keep them from blowing the house up!
Good idea!! Looks like good fun too! :) I 'tutored' Grace in English for awhile. I don't think I was as diligent as I should've been ... but it was a good experience.
