Well what can say, if nothing but consistent :) I have been doing a lot of thinking about curriculum for next year and basically over whelming myself...AGAIN! I have come to the conclusion that I will not continue with A Beka next year, I feel it is a lot of busy work and NOT enough hands on. I am also learning to break out of my box that I seem to like to put myself in and have joined a homeschool group, WHICH I love! Also broke out of the box by stopping PHONICS in A Beka to switch back to Hooked on Phonics to make sure that JD gets his short vowels down first before moving on to long vowels which is what they were about to have me do. Okay back to the group I am in, they are close by and not about doing co ops but just helping each other out or even getting the kids together. We even went to our first Valentines Party which was a lot of fun! I have also joined JD in a ballet class that is for the homeschool group which starts this Friday, figured that if he did it for a month and did not like it we don't have to continue; it would be for more a p.e. class than anything:) Have a great week everyone! XO
It's good to figure out what works and what doesn't, and to have the flexibility (and sometimes a bit of courage) to change. The group sounds like a good one, and that will help with learning to get along with others and working and playing in groups. I can't wait to hear more about the ballet class. Keep up the good work!
