Excited About Curriculum

Alright so I know I have been slacking in the whole blogging department:( I can say that as I look on this past year of teaching my son that it was not all peachy. We banged heads, misunderstood each and even got upset. However, I can say that it has help to put this next year in perspective. I have found out about myelf, that I get overwhelmed with all the info, curriculum, websites, etc....it just gets crazy which makes me crazy and when I get overwhelmed I handle things poorly. So  I decided to finally sit down and pick a curriculum to use, with the encouragement of our Aunt:) That is what I did; went with A Beka. I went with them because they eliminate all that I have to try to do, such as, lesson plans, creative ideas to keep kids interested. This is what makes me excited. I get my cake and eat to!! I have just realized this about myself and the cause of what gets me overwhelmed: making up LESSON PLANS!!! and staying organized enough to stay focused on an area. So on the 7th of this month my books for JD and me will be hear and I am so excited!!! I will be repeated Kindergarten, for the simple reason that this year seemed more of introduction and seeing where he was at emotionally and mentally. We are also going to be taking advantage of the screening test at the school so I can also see how he is doing. So there you go, I guess it was quite the update...hahahaha! 

Happy Fourth Of July!!!
