We're Excited About "KICKS Academy" for Home Schoolers

Hey moms and dads,

Today I was thinking about how excited I am about this new outreach of our ministry. KICKS Academy for Home Schoolers is a heart's desire, its a dream, and it is so exciting to see it coming forth. I love homeschooling. My grown son has such fruit in his life from it and, I was able to enjoy him daily! Today, with all my other adopted children, we are now offering them the same blessing. That's the blessing when you realize how you can teach your children and how you can start before they reach the typical school age and teach them ahead. Letting them go for it as they are ready without limits with nothing holding them back from a classroom setting! After all, you've started teaching them from the day they were born and gotten them to were they are right now!

When my son was in second grade in the public school system, I was called in for a teacher's conference. His teacher proceeded to tell me how far advanced he was and that he was completing his work "to soon". "He is beating all the rest of his class," she said. I asked her to please give him more work. She said, "I already do and I can't give him anymore because he will be to far ahead of all my other students." I wanted to shout, "Let him!" But, that wasn't the answer in the norm for public classrooms.

Well, in Home School you can have your kids move forward as they need to. EVen in whatever subjects they can while staying with the subjects they may need more work on. Your children can move forward at a pace that meets their own speed and need. Today I have 3 two year olds that "already" know their ABC's. They can read 'EVERY' letter upper and lower case! They know the sound of each letter! They can recognize their letters isolated! Even one of them can spell their name. How exciting to see the Lord bring them forth with such academic advancements! That's homeschooling for ya!

We were talking with a 'teacher of 30 years'. She said in all her years of teaching in public schools she had never seen any children under three capable to do what they are doing, especially three of them from different genetic lines. (since they are adopted). Her statement, "You must be doing something to make it fun for them! They must love learning!"

So you have it... That's our goal for you and your kids. Learning is fun! Make it exciting and interesting. Fun and creative. Make your Home School academically excellent and challenging enough to keep interest and equipped with advanced achievements, or just great achievements, but, make it fun and exciting!

Our desire with the Academy is to help you get some creative ideas and encouragement to help make your Home School fun and equip you with academic ideas that will enhance your children and cause them to achieve higher excellence in learning. Learning has become such fun and is a great character building tool, so go for it!

God bless you in your Home Schooling!
