Ben's News


Benjamin is finishing up his bowling with the home school league and has been scoring in the 80’s with the help of the bumpers, but he won’t need bumpers much longer. I was interested in getting Benjamin some teaching about golf, and I know there isn’t any way I could afford lessons or green fees so I did some research and found out about 1st Tee. 1st Tee is a program that the area golf club host, to teach young people the game of golf. One of their main goals is to teach character, and the great part about the program is that it only cost, $40. He receives three hours of instruction per week, and they have golf clubs available for him. I think that Benjamin can be a lifelong golfer if he can be properly mentored in the game at an early age.
Janey started Ben off with his 2nd/3rd grade home school August 1, and he is picking everything up very well. Ben is studying Shurley English, Saxon Math, Beginning Hebrew, Spelling, The Light and the Glory (History) by Peter Marshall, Handwriting and Science. Of course, he is also getting some PE with basketball, bowling and golf. It is wonderful to see Ben learn new things, and it won’t be long until he is doing complex equations, physics and all of that fun stuff.
