I am Lilly and Riley's mom. Yesterday I officially registered with the Palmetto State Association of homeschools for Gaffney South Carolina. I am EXTREMELY excited about home schooling the girls. they are finishing their 5k and 1st grade years in public school on Thursday June 2nd 2011. I am really pleased at the wealth of information there is on various home school sites, that will inevitably make this adventure much more successful. Kathy at the Palmetto State association was such a pleasant person and I am hoping to be able to connect with other home school moms in the area relatively soon.
The girls are very high spirited and imaginative children. Lilly is a social bug and for that reason she has mixed feelings about home schooling. Yet, I have reassured her that we will not be isolated in the house at all times. Riley is a very sensitive and emotional little lad. I can see this benefiting her because I feel I know her moods best and I can help direct her on processing her emotions in a more constructive manner.
My head is swarming with the millions of ideas of subjects to teach, field trips to take, art projects to do, and so much more. Part of this adventure will be working the girls into these blog posts. I plan to have them start with helping my tell what their favorite part of the day is and then as we improve typing skills then they can feel free to type their own blogs.
Well I suppose that is all for now. We will be regular bloggers soon enough!
