Home Schooling ABC’s

Often times we get the big question, “where do we start with this home school?” Yes there are some ABC’s and 123’s when you finally make the decision to school your children. A few thoughts to consider are:

1. Charter Programs- Yes we home school but we also attend a charter. There are classes, facilitators to assist, and you have the support of hired help.
2. Church Family- There are a lot of mom’s and dad’s that are attending such programs and you can lean on fellow parents that have support and great tips.
3. Online Groups- With the internet being a sea of information, you can find local groups for moral support and breaks to spread the work load as other parents might be looking for the      same. You are not the only parent that needs support.
4. A powerful guide is “homeschooling ABC’s” that you can invest $10.00 and get solid support and encouragement to minimize any frustration or confusion.

Remember, you are not alone. Reach out for support and utilize all of your resources. Never be too afraid to ask for help and clarify and unanswered questions as there is a big family willing to see you succeed in your home schooling endeavor.

Saying So Long

Today is a day we say so long to some friends who are moving away.  It’s not just my friend but Lilly and Owen’s also.  Rachael was instrumental in my home schooling start and success.  It is rare to find someone you trust unconditionally. You know the kind that you can call at 3 am and know they will be there no questions asked. I know they are not going far but I still can’t keep the emotions at bay.  I plan to visit them in the spring but it won’t be the same.  I know we can keep in touch via Facebook and I’m grateful for that!  I’m not sure how Owen is going to take to her son Ashton leaving.  Owen has looked up to Ashton and wanted to be around him for at least 3 years. Considering he is 5 that is more than half his life! I know this move is good for them so I will try to be happy and not selfish wanting them to stay….
