I chose five doors and I tag five other homeschoolers: Abby, Kristen, Paige, Kris and (homeschooler to be) Shannon!  (And anyone else so inspired!)

(I have a lousy camera so I’m heading to flickr.)

This was a cheat. This is a picture of place called Durdle Door. I chose it because I want my kids to learn awe in the face of the world and all it has to offer and all they have to offer it.

This one is to show that I want them to learn that there are lots of different ways to live in the world and to celebrate that diversity.

I chose this one because I want my kids to learn that they will always be learning. With every bit of knowledge won, there are more questions and that’s just fine.

I chose this because I want them to learn that life can be unpredictable but that sometimes surprises are wonderful things.

Finally I want them to know that the path to learning is always books, books and more books. If you know how to read, you can learn anything.
