today was math
love how i enjoy teaching it!
i've had a few ppl ask me how it's going
so i'll be honest
yes, home educating is hard
yes, it's a lot of work
yes, i get 'tired' of my kids
yes, i feel overwhelmed, alone and scared
yes, i've often thought of putting nate in public school
yes, it's hard to do it with a baby
yes, i've cried after a hard day
yes, it's almost exactly what i thought it would be like
and yes, i am sticking with it. it's the right choice for our family
i am amazed with how my patience has really grown and surprised with how i am being more flex/laid back when ellie's having an off day/won't sleep or what ever. nate is way too distracted when she's with us for school time, so school's gotta happen when she's sleeping
i've played with a few curriculum styles and choices. i am working on figuring out what our school is like. to make it work and right for us
over all i am pleasantly surprised by how it's going. i enjoy it most days. i really enjoy watching the neighbourhood kids wait for the bus at 7:30 in the morning while i brew my java in my jammies...we start later in the morning
i am a total and utter newbie and am figuring the whole thing out. i am learning as i go, getting a bit more confident each day. i guess with most everything, the longer you do something the easier it gets!
i love having nate home, love watching him learn and watching the light go off when he gets something. i have peace about our choice, even on the hard days. besides it's only 15 yrs of my life, right?! haha! oh wait then i have ellie....add another 15 yrs. haha i have a sneaking feeling she will be much easier to school than nate!
and with that i am off to build a rocket ship with nate. ha!
