Just wanted to send along my thoughts and prayers and let you know that you are doing a good job. However you are implementing PA, whatever “school” looks like at your house, whatever you get done this week–good job! There are as many ways to implement PA as there are homeschooling families on the planet. No two homes will look exactly the same. That’s because no two children are the same.

Isn’t that why you started homeschooling in the first place? To be free to teach what you want in the way you want in the time you want with the materials you want? Don’t become a slave to a method or a notebook. I don’t think that’s the spirit of the Principle Approach at all. The Holy Spirit should guide you in your preparation and your teaching and He will if you don’t try to force Him into a box you made.

Take everything you learn on your PA journey and prayerfully fit it for use in your own “kingdom.” God placed these institutions in your life to help you, not to stifle you–let them. They are all part of God’s Providential plan for your homeschool and you should take what you get and use it for His glory. Don’t stress out on the mechanics. Enjoy the spirit of PA. It will all eventually fall into place in the way you need it to.

Enjoy your kids and have a good time together. Make learning fun and they will learn all they need to know. Put God’s Word at the center of everything and they will naturally begin to turn to it. Keep their eyes on Jesus, give them a love for God’s Word and intstill a love of learning. All the rest will come in God’s good time.
