Welcome

Although there are many blessings and great pros to homeschooling our children, I was not prepared for this. Due to the ignorance of the local public school, I had to withdraw my two youngest children and begin homeschooling them. I was not prepared!

I have homeschooled in the past but was hoping things would work out in the public setting so I could pursue some personal joys.

Many days I love to teach; some I do not. It is my lack of patience that makes for a bad day.

This blog is an insider's view of a typical day full of fun and frustrations that come along with homeschooling children.

Homeschool Bully

I walk into the kitchen this morning and find my daughter shoving her brother into the pantry and closing the doors. Nice to know some things carry over into the home from public school.

I am anticipating a science project for March. The kids are excited. They are going to start a garden. They are happy they get to help choose the vegetables.

We are studying the 50 states in history - a new one every week. They get so excited because they take turns choosing which state they will study next.

I find that if they get to help choose their own curriculum they are more likely to enjoy it.

I was at my witts-end a couple days ago. Having to pull curriculum out of the air every week was too taxing. Hubby ordered AOP for me to finish out the year. That will help. I will be better prepared next school year since I know I have to teach.

Off to school!
