so, we started school today. this is a big deal because it is OUR first day of official homeschooling. you know, here. at home. most everyone reading this is already aware of the fact that shane has been homeschooled since first grade, but that he has spent the majority of that ‘school’ time, with my mother as his ‘teacher’. this was a fine arrangement, she was willing and more than qualified, and he was learning. but for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being my mother’s current cancer issues, it had become clear that it was time for me to take over. AND,with layla being 4 now, i really wanted to do a little bit more preschool stuff with her. being a little bit of a chicken flake, i (with much urging from my loving husband) decided the best route to go would be with a packaged curriculum. i figured it would be the most time-effective way to cover what we needed to cover, and be somewhat dummy-proof, but at the same time, having the option to supplement with as much
Regarding you poll about lack of punctuation & capitalization....I'm so used to it at this point, I think it would scare me if you did use it.
ReplyDeletei recently had some family members comment that they hate reading anything from me because of it. i didn't realize that it could make things hard to read. i still end my sentences appropriately and leave the requisite 2 spaces before starting a new one. but thought i'd ask.
