Are We There Yet?....A Homeschooling Journey

Aug. 12, 2007

Tomorrow is the big day!

Tomorrow is our first day of 4th grade.  I'm not sure who is more nervous, me or him. I did get all the rooms moved and the dining room/classroom is ready.  It's all new stuff this year and I am hoping to get some enthusiasm that was missing from 3rd grade. We had our orientation last night and showed off my months of research and buying to my hubby.  I told him his job was just be enthusiastic.  He was impressed and I felt a little overwhelmed. 

I'm almost as nervous as I used to be starting school myself.  Remember the new clothes, the new bookbag (I graduated before backpacks), and Trapper Keepers? Tomorrow I'll have a new computer, lots of composition books, and a new classroom.  My son will show up in shorts, shoes and shirts are not required for him.  By noon hopefully we'll be done, and this week we're even taking a day off to go out of town.  Come to think of it I love homeschooling!

Well this is almost the end of second week and we are still getting in the groove. I didnt know I chose so many hands on projects but I did. Allison is loving it so much School is actually easier this year. I know about the hair pulling. DD is so wiggly and always on the move. So I made it easier. I let her lay in floor sit upside down with her feet in the chair andthe rest of her on the floor but hey it helps. She passed her second spelling test She got everyone of them right. The first test she made a C on it so A big improvement in my book. I know one thing She and I love MOH 1 We will be doing MOH 2 next year then of course MOH 3. Im still wondering about Zoology 1.
