I know I was so undecided about a few things.  LIke Ryan and what to get him, and whether or not I wanted to homeschool Raelynn.

Well both have been decided.

I look around at all the creative things that you girls do, and I have realized that I don't have the creative gift to create projects like ya'll do.  ITs just not in me.  I was worried that homeschool was just get to it and get it done.  So I decided to try and take some of that pressure of myself.

My friend homeschools her kids but she uses a virtual academy to do it.  So you are still the kids teacher but they choose all of it, they have a teacher for back up and there is stuff that is planned.  So I looked into it, and I like it.  They design the corses around what the child needs instead of what grade they are in.  Raelynn has trouble with reading, so they have designed her language arts around where she is at, not where she should be.  And coming out of a public school, you know that is what she was getting there.  "Mrs. Tillitz this is where Raelynn should be, and we need to do..this....this. and that to get her up to where she should be."  This was comforting because it just took what she knows and how she tested and they have designed her work on that.  Im thrilled.  THey have music appreciation and art and physical education.  Which I guess is up to me.  But Im thrilled with the music and art. 

The girls have been approved and I am just waiting for the high school side to call me and arrange what we are going to do for Ryan.  But I will say that Im thrilled and ready for it.  I even have some teacher assignments that I have to do.   Oh and one of the biggest things for Ryan is they have college counselors there that will help him with all he needs to get into a college, and to get schollarships.  He really wants to go to SAGU (souther assemblies of God Univeristy) For Youth ministerial studies and Education.  Im thrilled that my son knows and hasn't changed in 2 years what he wants to do.  He wants to be a youth pastor with educaiton as his backup.  Im so very proud of him!!
