So... I have began homeschooling the girls using the k12 program (public school). As a part of the new legislation they offered free online schooling thru k12. I jumped at the opportunity! So as u know I am still working full time until Oct.-Nov. and have been balancing homeschool and working. I can't say it has been smooth sailing but the girls LOVE IT and I am so happy 2 see them happy to learn.
You have to understand that last year while IN public school, every morning was a mission!! Arguing, Screaming, Kicking to get in the car, Frustrated on the way, Kicking to get out of the car... and that was just Tsianna... Karina would go 2 school okay, bless her heart I think she didn't want to make things hard on me know how Tsi was but that is the kind of person Karina is :) but she wouldn't eat @ lunch (too loud). I had 2 take my lunch hour and eat with her every day for 2 wks til she felt comfortable enough to eat alone. She never raised her hand in class. She is introverted and that is they way she likes it. I had the mentality that they HAD 2 go 2 school 2 learn, I thought of homeschooling but I didn't think I was smart enough 2 do it. I doubted myself and my abilities to educate my children the way I know they could learn and grow. I was sending them to school because I felt as if that was THE WAY 2 DO IT!! BOY WAS I WRONG!
All they were doing was trying to teach Tsianna how to sit still and Karina didn't feel comfortable raising her hand in class so she was one of those kids getting "LEFT BEHIND". So I got the guts, prayed and went and saw my cousin Tina homeschool her kids and I realized I 2 can do what is best for my children and not what society has told me is what they need... I gave birth to them, I raised them and some how I let the world tell me how "they should be raised"
Well I am taking it back and I decided to do what I KNEW WAS BEST FOR MY GIRLS! I spoke with my husband and he agreed... and we decided to everything from move 2 another town to better our family and I will be going back to being a homemakers and raising our girls and taking care of my husband, family and home. Putting God first and all else will follow....
I have never seen my girls so excited 2 do school work. They love having Mommy as teacher they raise their hands when they are giving me an answer or when they have a question. It is so gratifying to see these girls once DISLIKE school now LOVE it... and the more reading I do to help me and the girls the more I know what we all need to succeed not only in homeschooling but in LIFE!!!
Can't wait to share more!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
