Well we started on the 3rd it was a great day of school. Then the next morning I woke with some bad shooting pains in my stomach. We did manage school that day but by evening I was in the ER and by 3am had surgery to remove my appendix. I then spent the next two days in the hospital. After all that we started again on Monday the 10th. We have had a good week of school.
I am enjoying it and so are my kids.
A couple things I have learned the past couple of years. Maturity has a lot to do with children and their learning. We did not school any this past summer. I did not continue to work with C on his reading which he had just gotten down at the end of last school year. When we started back he could read better than the end of last year. He is very easy and fun to teach.
The other thing is I love having my kids with me. I love when they get it, when they snuggle me when I read to them. I love just not being away from them all day long. How hard and sad that would be. Homeschooling is a great blessing. I need to pray more for God's protection over it.
May God bless your homeschooling year.
