Aude Sapere Academy
Sep. 29, 2006
Aude Sapere is officially Pre-K only.
We did it. We made the big step. B is in public school --- and you know what? HE LOVES IT! It had become clear to us that we were being directed to put him in after much prayer and too much struggling and not listening to the subtle promptings.
Basically, I was beyond the end of my rope dealing with his behavior - suspected Aspie - and completely overwhelmed between that and my other two children. We had a meeting with the principal (I was beyond impressed how she treated my son) and toured the school. It's a small school, only 18 students in B's class. His teacher is just right. Patient, gentle, yet strict and challenging. She's young, and really a good fit for B.
His first day, thursday was a half day - and he was so bummed school was over. He commented on how much easier (HA!) it was than homeschooling and he was having a lot of fun. Today was his first full day, and his best friend from soccer is in the same grade, different class, but they were able to eat lunch and play at recess together. All he could talk about was how much he loved it.
I am totally at peace. My house is QUIET during the day, I get stuff done ~ I get to spend one on one time with my younger two, and just the weight off my shoulders is incredible. I am so glad he is happy, his behavior has changed 200& just in the last 2 days and I feel like we made the right decision - and should have been listening to God more carefully prior to this.
Anyway, I am only homeschooling P now, and she will attend K next year - she was so excited when she saw the K classrooms that she asked me to sign her up right away! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself with only one child at home! It's going to be a lot different. Both of the kids deserve their own time and they get that at school ~ then they get positive attention from me when they get home. I am so not stressed out to the max and yelling or just giving up any hope that they listen.
I also want to chime in that PS isn't as bad as I thought. I had a huge chip on my shoulder and now I see both sides. I really think my children can have a great experience there.
