I truly enjoy days like today when homeschooling goes well with generally happy and diligent kids. New concepts are grasped and we are not cramming to get everything done so we can get out the door to some appointment or other. A major reason I like to homeschool is to avoid the constant rush rush that I see all around me. The pleasure of a day well spent with my precious kiddos is a wonderful blessing.
One thing we also did today was reread a short, but delightful book called A Grain of Rice. It's a simple story of a poor man who desires the king's daughter, but is told he is not worthy. He cleverly works hard and achieves the status required through a surprising mathematical principle.
