Tomorrow is our TRUE first day of homeschooling. We recieved most of the materials and the rest should be here tomorrow. I am a little nervous about how to handle both the girls at the same time. Lily needs more attention since she cannot read yet. I am not too concerned though, I think once I get started and we have a routine down things will go smoothly. I am sure there will be a lot of adjustments at first. I will gladly keep you all informed on how things are going--good and bad!
My cousin asked me what I was using to homeschool...I enrolled them through K12.com. If you qualify (we did) everything is FREE! They sent us our own computer and all the supplies! I figured I would go this route because it is easiest on me right now. They even have a teacher who is there to help if necessary and all the lesson plans are scheduled for us!
My schooling is going good. I was a little worried before Christmas break because I had a B in one of my classes. Well, I have brought that grade up to a 92%!
Only 3 weeks left of this semester then only 4 classes left and I will have my Associates degree!! I am very proud of myself. I have had straight A's this whole time and hope to continue that way! I graduate June 6, 2010. I am not sure what my next step will be, but I will certainly let you all in on it as soon as I know :)
I'm really bummed out that my camera decided to break (again!) and I am so thankful I decided to buy the warranty. The GeekSquad has my camera til further notice. Until then...no NEW pictures :(
I really think they should have rental cameras for times like these ; )
wow, if something like k12.com were available when my kids were young, I probably would have tried homeschooling...that is very cool.
ReplyDeleteI usually get an eye twitch when I have not had enough "good" sleep.....it is annoying isn't it?
Congrats on your grades and being able to see a light at the end of the tunnel!!!
I think I would get a disposable camera while you waited...so you don't miss anything!!!
You are a braver woman than I am. I have considered homeschooling but I like sending the kids away every day. I'm horrible.. haha.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find a co op of some sort. I wouldn't mind sharing it. I just would insecure that my kids weren't getting everything.. Maybe if I did homeshcooling from the beginning. The boys are in middle school. I feel as if it's too late to start now.
Good luck!
