TimelineTuesday: 8/12/1859, birthday of Katharine Lee Bates, who wrote the song "America the Beautiful." She altered the text of the poem 11 years after its initial writing, and (in our opinion) she greatly improved it. The original first verse (unlike a lot of our TimelineTuesday posts, we didn't make this up) was:

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

🌿Our job as homeschoolers isn’t to tame wild curiosity — it’s to nurture it. To water dry places with wonder, stories, and questions. To spark imagination and guide it gently, not suppress it with too many rules or too little joy.

Let’s raise thinkers, not just memorizers. Let’s cultivate minds that bloom. 💡💛

TimelineTuesday: 8/5/1816, the British government rejects Francis Ronalds' proposed electric telegraph system, saying, "such systems are wholly unnecessary...and furthermore, should we adopt them, we will soon be receiving unwanted electrical mails forwarded from our uncles with bad jokes; appeals from politicians that start with "[our first name], why don't you care about babies enough to donate 10 dollars?!?!"; fifty-message-long threads from coworkers that we are CC'ed on but cannot get off of, and notifications that someone we barely talked to in High School has viewed our LinkedIn profile, which will lead us to look at THEIR profile, which will send us into envious existential crises that we, frankly do not need."

Some of the most powerful learning moments happen while baking muffins, taking nature walks, or answering a million curious questions at bedtime. 🧠💬

Homeschooling gives us the freedom to recognize that life itself is full of lessons — and that education isn’t confined to a table, a worksheet, or a schedule.
