Our Adventure in Home Schooling

This past summer, we have spent much time discussing what we want for our children's educational experience. Creative, hands-on, fun, faith-based, imaginative, full of enrichment..........We want learning to come from more than books full of pictures and facts.

With these things in mind, we, along with our kids, created Toby S. Tuttle and Hoppy Frog. These two friends are going to help us see the world through the eyes of our family and friends! Connecting the places Toby and Hoppy visit with loved ones brings these places to life for the kids in a way that no book can. It creates realism.
Each destination provides an opportunity to investigate the history, geography, culture and interesting facts for that area of the world. The kids will learn through stories shared, hands-on projects, discovery through research and observation, teachable moments and (just for fun) watching a movie or two!

So, "The Adventures of Toby & Hoppy" is the first of many enrichment projects during our adventure in homeschooling. Welcome aboard! We hope you will enjoy the ride!
