Homeschooling

At the Trade Days this weekend, I talked with the lady I met that homeschools.  She has 5 adopted children and homeschools them all.  She brought some of her books over that she uses.  They were nice but I don't think they are what I want to use.  It was nice talking to her though.  She told me I need to come visit her sometime and I think I will....

When I got home Sunday, I was fixing supper ( I had put soup on that morning) and my mom called.  She asked if I had remembered the Hamberger supper they were having at church.  Of course I had forgotten.  I went ahead and cooked the cornbread and then Jonathan and I went to eat burgers and fellowship.  I am so glad I did.  While there, a lady that I had talked to last year about homeschooling her boy came and talked to me.  She said she had been praying about what to do about starting her son in school.  She wanted to homeschool but just wasn't sure.  She had been praying about what to do.  We talked for a while and she said her burden was lifted and she knew she was going to homeschool.  That is so cool.  Her son is a year older that Jonathan but they will be in the same "grade" since she held her son back from kindergarden last year.  I do hope I can be of more help to her concerning curriculum and such. 

As for our school it has slowed down so much.  We were doing reading the other day and J wasn't doing as I wanted and I got on to him.  I was angry...I have found that we weren't having fun with this reading.  It has been this way since the beginning.  I seems like I am always getting onto him during reading mostly because he don't want to do it.  He is learning and able to read but he doesn't like to.  I decided it wasn't worth the trouble.  I don't want him to hate reading!  We are still going to work on sounds and such but it will be at a much slower pace and not so structured. 

Math:  He still likes math.  Speaking of which, we still need to do our math lesson.  LOL.  I guess I better get off here.
