Homeschooling.............No More!

Up until last night around 5:30pm I was making lesson plans, and downloading a gradebook, along with organizing all the books I would need to homeschool, Princess Henney. I say up until last night, because Princess decided that she wants to go to school. The two other grade school aged kids went to meet their teachers last night, and got to see their classrooms, and where they will be sitting. Princess Henney, I could tell was starting to second guess her decision to stay home with Mommy all day. After she found out, if she were to attend school, and who her teacher would be, and who or who wouldn't be in her class......was the straw that broke the camels back. Knowing she wouldn't be sharing a class with a particular person, freed her mind, and opened it up to doing as her siblings would be doing; going to school!

Am I upset, hurt, sad, frustrated, confused? Nope not at all. I had left this decision completely up to her, and I'm here to make my children's life as easy and smooth as possible. If she wants to go to school, then I'm all for it. Only my child knows how they feel, what they want, and what they need....I'm here to be a sounding board, and something they can feel safe bouncing ideas off of.

So, now when Monday comes, I will have Miss Martie and Ki-Ki here for me to entertain and keep busy. Monday school starts up again, and we will be back on a regular schedule.

I plan to write up my schedule of our daily routines for the first semester~ and once I'm done, I will post what our days will look like from sun up to sun down.

As I'm writing this, I keep singing Conjunction Junction, what's your function......we will be finding out as Princess Henney is entering 3rd Grade...whew!
