On this day last year, we pulled the girls out of public school to home school them. They were in 4th and K. It's been a great year and we have learned so much. I am not talking academics here. I am talking about learning a lot about life and home schooling. I had preconceived notions of how it would go and boy was I wrong. We just kept adjusting things and I think now we have finally figured things out. I know as time goes on we will learn so much more.
We officially started HSing on May 4th (the following Monday) and kept on right through the summer. We took off this past week and part of the week before for the birth of the baby. We plan to start back up tomorrow (slowly).
That's the great thing about HSing as those of you who do it know. You can do what you want when you want and how it works for you. If they only get 1 or 2 subjects done tomorrow..that's ok. That's better than nothing. It's nice to take off for things like babies and illnesses, and of course birthdays!
Had the girls been in school still, I would not have had all this help I have had from them. They sure have done a lot to help out. They hold the baby, clean, and get things for me.
I am looking forward to the next school year. It's hard to say when we will "start" because we will just start new books when we finish the old ones. But I am looking forward to the new books.
What a wonderful adventure!
