Jan. 22, 2007 - What to do
I am feeling a little out of sorts today. Luckily I am going today to get the massage my husband bought me for Christmas. Everything he bought me has something to do with therapy. I think he is trying to tell me something. I am a little perplexed this morning. My dh who I will refer to as horse chickie is in public k5. She loves school and is doing exceptionally well with reading. She can read 48 "popcorn words" and I am sooo proud. I plan on homeschooling and was going to start after first grade. I have a really cool job teaching in the science lab two days a week in her school and may get to do it next year. If I don't do that I will sub at the school. My mom is quitting her job after this year and will keep my crazy boy while I work two days a week. Horse Chickie says she wants to be homeschooled next year instead of going to school. I don't know if she really knows what she is saying or is jealous of crazy boy being at home with me while she is at school. She loves her friends and rides horses with one of her school mates. I think she would really miss going to school after a while of homeschooling and say she wants to go back to school. I really wanted her to go to first grade because there are no more than 14 students in a class and usually about 10. The first grade teachers are great and the one she will have loves to dance and is very creative. However I am so jealous of the homeschoolers doing such cool things. I am also trying to figure out one more thing. My mom and the kids and I are going to Florida to visit my papa in February. He camps there for about three months and we are so excited about going. The problem is horse chickie will miss five days of school. If she were homeschooled I could count the majority of the days as school days because we will to to a manatee park, an orange grove, and several other educational places. I am not sure the school district will count those as school days. We are going regardless but she is not supposed to miss more than 10 days. I am hoping she can journal her experiences and take pictures to count as school days. Hopefully after my massage and therapy with dtandfambly I will know what to do. Melanie
