While I’m waiting for the paperwork to come from the association, I went ahead and bought some books at BAM, put one on order, and set up a wishlist through CBD. Then I dug through the closet and found some 3rd grade text books that I used when I was home schooling my darling son. Already having the teacher’s guide to the Saxon Math program is going to save me some green stuff!
Besides the school books, we found a book for the Homeschooling Father, which my husband bought for himself. I can’t remember the exact title, and he took it to work with him, but it’s nice to have so much support from him.
I’ve also started setting up Buttercup’s classroom. I wish I’d been this organized the last time I home schooled- it likely would have gone better. When my daughter woke up this morning she found her own little workspace set up with a desk to use. She was so excited by it she didn’t want to go to school, and insisted on eating her breakfast at the desk.
I’m basically just going to ignore the work she did at the beginning of this year and start her over again. At this point, with the grades she got at the beginning of the year, however well she does now, she’ll still have to repeat the year, so what’s the point? Besides, I want to make certain sure she didn’t miss anything fundamental where she has been having such a hard time.
