These are the words I use to describe Homeschooling. Yes, I know what you are all thinking because it's the same thing I used to think about homeschoolers. Now that I'm on the other end I understand WHY some mother's homeschool. I would have never even considered this was an option for me, and my three youngest if I hadn't have prayed and received this answer. The two older, of the three youngest, were having constant issues at school. One was just plain miserable being in his class that he didn't care about anything. This reflected in his apathy towards schoolwork and inappropriate behavior at school. The other just has attention issues that aren't conducive to a classroom setting. Since I had no intentions of medicating this child just so he'd be compliant in a classroom setting the Lord showed me another way... Homeschool. I am proud to report that both are much happier being at home. They are thriving big time and it's wonderful to be apart of that. It's enjoyable teaching them and seeing their thirst for knowledge. I love that we can be flexible and take all the time we want on any given assignment. I love that we can go on field trips once a week. We get to spend quality time together. I don't get the tired, stressed out attitudes and behaviors walking through the door anymore after being at public school all day. We have no homework. We live in the best neighborhood ever and once our homeschool is over they bolt outside and play for hours with their friends. I don't know how long we will be on this homeschool journey, but for now it's an answer to many heartfelt prayers.
about Pablo Picasso. They are painting their own version
of Picasso's "The Girl Before a Mirror".
homeschool too much yet. I think he misses the
fanfare he got at school because of his charming
personality and just plain cuteness.
out good. He has a blanket in his lap...only at
homeschool could you get away with that. :-)
on Monday I'm chopping 3 inches off.
Goodbye long hair.
