This is my first year as an independent Homeschooler ( last year we did public virtual school). Our military lifestyle, the traveling and the cuts made in education are the main reasons why I Homeschool. Plus I feel my kids don't have to worry about peer pressure and bullying so young, they have more time to be kids.
Today was our first day, the kids were excited. We woke this morning and made pancakes, yes the kids helped with the cooking and cleaning up (teaching life skills right there). They are only a grade apart, some subjects we can work on together. We were done with all the basics by lunch, big difference when you teach 2 kids vs 25. Our afternoons are for reading, free time and field trips. I started early this year so we can have four days a week for all the basics and use Friday's to do Art & Nature Study.
I think it is going to be a great year, I will be even more excited once we get back to Washington in three months because we are blessed to have many Homeschool friends and belong to some amazing groups. Until then we are on our own, no Homeschool friends in person.
The picture of our curriculum looks so boring , we are currently traveling and don't have much space. Once I get back home to Washington, I can decorate.
