Home School

So Home Schooling is going GREAT! We have had all the supplies and we have been up and running! We use the K-12 program because it is structured well and they do 80% with the books and the resources they send and the other 20% online. It is great!When they get older they will do more and more online. I really wanted what was going to be best for our family and this one worked out well. It was great that we happened to already have 2 desks for them before we ever planned on Home Schooling. So we use half of the playroom for School.
They sent us a Computer, monitor and a printer along with some other things to use with it(microphone, headset, and a few other things).
We have all the books on a shelf and the extras in a storage bin. These are the things we don't use as often. The other things like the counters and so on are in a container that they keep next to the desk.
They have these super awesome phonics sets that are amazing at helping you teach phonics and spelling. LOVE IT!! They have a basic kit and an advanced kit. Jarrin and Keeley are having fun, even though they whine and fuss during school some days, they always tell us how happy they are to have school at home.
It's kind of stressful some days and it is hard work right now being that they are in Elementary and they are learning so much of the fundamental things needed for later, but I am really looking forward to when they are able to be more independent. They say that when they can read well, they will be able to get started and do most of the work by themselves with you just supervising them unless it is something they struggle with or need you to help them so they learn well. It is usually around 4-5th grade and then by Middle School they are almost completely independent and then by High School they should be totally independent! So I look forward to it :)
So that is my crazy life now! I love being able to be with my kids though.....but I definitely require a bit more "escape" time. Thank goodness Brad is such a great Hubby! He understands and helps out the best he can!
