I'm thinking about making a few changes to our adventure box system so as to include the core values, projects, Service. and life skills that don't seem to fit into the main Math, Language Arts, History, or Science subjects. I have those subjects be the focus only so that my children can understand that they are learning the same things as their public school friends (even if they are having a lot more fun and less busy work). But the foundational knowledge and skills are the very purpose of our home learning.
