reading!

 i told nate is was independent reading time and he took off. i found him like this
he went and got the table, chair, pillow, chris's safety shaded and a pop (a treat he earned. it was 1/2 a can) and did his reading out side

 this is why we home educate!

 i walked inside and found ellie like this taking away saying "bebe jo jo, books! read! look pooh!"

when she saw me she actually said "cheese mama!"

school is going good. we made a HUGE change this week.  im not sure how i feel about it...

tuesday i sent nate up to the playroom to work, alone, with ALL his books.  he did ALL the work in 1.5 hrs  and LIKED it

sob sob sob

so every day this wk, he goes up to his desk and works. alone. with out me. i check his work later in the evening and write out his assignments for the next day

i do read the science text book only bec im actually interested in learning about it

other than that he's working alone and is thriving.  hes teaching himself...im not ready for this. i thought id be needed for another year

sure this is what i was aiming for its just hard to let go and let him take on more responsibility....

im going to keep at it and set the playroom up for nates school area....someday....
