Homeschooling an artistic child is proving to be a challenge for me. Where I'd like to just get on w/ the school work and get it done ASAP, he wants to color his doughnut pictures w/ sprinkles and all sorts of fun things. Or he's asked to draw a picture of milk and turns it into milk in the grocery refridgerator. Of course there's someone getting it out of the fridge and then there's the man's grocery cart which is full of things like cereal, eggs, bread, etc. So far I'm just being patient and allowing this creativity to sprout and I am pretty sure that's just how I'll do it... but part of me wants to say "OK! It just asked you to draw MILK not the whole grocery store!!!" Makes me sound like a bad homeschooling Mom doesn't it?? But... I'm not acting on my annoyances and am allowing him to have this creative streak that God gave him. That is, after all, one of the reasons I homeschool. I finally called the superintendant of the local schools and he said they don't sent the paperwork after the first year?? I was told otherwise by other homeschoolers, but whatever. He said all I have to do is send in a paper describing the curriculum we'll be using and when I will be writing in my quarterlies. Sounds easy enough... I already have it all on the computer, so I'll just print out what I have and sent it in. It's pretty easy this year since I'm not piecing together the curriculum.
