A new direction

To mix metaphors, The Roof Beam is veering off course. Our family has grown and changed since we first imagined this space, and we’re finding ourselves undertaking new adventures. What began a couple of years ago as a (short-lived) family fitness log is now going to become our family’s homeschooling blog. With three boys and one more on the way, let’s see how well we can keep things updated this time!

Meet The Roof Beam boys:

H is 6, and we started homeschooling this fall using Five in a Row. We’ve shifted gears on that in the past few weeks, though, which I will go into more detail on later.

M is freshly 4, and we’re working s-l-o-w-l-y on letters and numbers and patterns and things. It’s fascinating to me to see how differently he learns from his older brother.

S is 1, and he spends most of his time trying to smash our crafts, steal scissors, and throw crayons across the room. He’s really just a joy to be around. It’s not a coincidence we do most of our schoolwork while he’s napping.

Okay, that’s all for now. Just wanted to update you on the exciting changes–“you” being, well, no one right now, but we hope to get better connected within the online homeschool community very soon.

So long!
