Homeschool

I have been homeschooling Miss M this year. Mr. B also loves to tell everyone that he goes to home school preschool. It warms my heart! We started with Sonlight, and have deterred away from it since we got behind and it felt like we would never catch up unless we did school all summer. On the days that we hadn't done sonlight we had done other things-not just skipping school completely.

I am looking into a few other programs or thinking of just building my own curriculum for next year. Lot's of people ask if I will home school forever. Forever seems like a Very long stretch for me. So far, I like it enough that we will continue next year. And we have finally gotten over her asking every day if she can go to real school so I don't want to throw her in public school to not like it and return to home school again. At least not yet. Maybe some day she can go to public school. It's so hard.  Although I think either way I would feel like it was a hard choice.

I am looking forward to the spring days. We have been on spring break this week along with everyone else here, and the kids have been playing with the neighbors all day every day outside. I am loving the quiet, and have been working on clearing out winter stuff since I haven't had to plan anything.

We are learning about frogs, and rain forests right now. And soon we will learn about gardening and growing things.

If you are a home schooler, how is your year going? If your kids go to public school, what is your favorite thing about it?
