Family Projects
I’m a bit stumped on a question I was asked so I’m asking you for help. Lori D is looking for a family that does a particular style of home education, and while I know what she’s talking about I can’t put my finger on exactly who it was or when I talked about them. Maybe someone else has the answer.
Summer, I’m looking for a blog that you referenced sometime back. It’s about a family that does “Project Homeschooling” style. They do a project together as a family and whatever they learn from it that’s great. Can you help me? Thanks!
I’m drawing a big blank on this! I know what she’s talking about, I distinctly remember talking about a family, maybe a few families, that did things like this, and yet I can’t find the posts about them. I know that I loved this style when I first heard about it. It is a bit like unit studies are a larger scale, as the entire family comes together to do the project. Older kids and younger kids work together and take from it what they will.
Does anyone remember who this was, or who else does this? Are you a family that teaches in this way? Have any links to share that might tell more about this style?

Were you talking about folks you know, or folks you’ve read about? David and Micki Colfax come to my mind. This couple wrote the book Homeschooling for Excellence which is all about the project style of homeschooling. My personal favorite. This really is the best way to RAISE your children.
