Okay, I need to just face it. This whole blog devoted to homeschool thing just isn’t gonna happen. I have all of this laundry that needs to be done. And cooking. And helping out in the studio. And blogging on this blog. And, Oh Yeah…school. There’s just not enough time for a new blog. I...
Caroline didn’t tell me about riding on the jeep. I bet she loved it so much! I love the first pic of her and Mak.
You are doing the right thing.
I don’t think anybody ever told me that while I was homeschooling. You ARE! I am strongly considering it for next year. Simon’s first week of 2nd grade has been awesome as far as MY free time goes. Ah, but the work load. He was given eight pages of homework this week. EIGHT pages, oh my. He finished them in less than 10 minutes. Some pages didn’t even take him a whole minute. That means, my kid is either the smartest kid in the entire world OR the work is much, much too simple.
I’m not even joking, there was a page of “Color the smallest circle green. Color the biggest triangle blue.” In second grade.
I know it’s the first week and all, but come on. The expectations are so frustratingly low, homeschooling may just be our only option.
I love reading these posts! Keep up the good work!

Andrew, your daughter rides around all morning in a jeep with an older guy and doesn’t tell you about it?! I’d be concerned… 😉
And Chrissy, Thank you!!! I’m amazed at the things I am teaching him, thinking he really can’t be old enough to get it…but he is. I love that we can go at his pace and move on immediately when he has mastered a concept. Or take a few extra days when he needs more help. Thank you for your encouragement. It really means a lot! And please let me know when/if y’all are coming to Flo-town!!
