Because we had to go out to pick him up from school! ;)<BR/><BR/>As far as home schooling, I am a order it all packaged and ready, and then go through it and check off the list (unless I am inspired to be wild and do something extra!))<BR/><BR/>If you are considering homeschool my advice is to go for it! Your school will not look like anyone else's anyway. No matter what curriculum you choose. And girlfriend, if I can homeschool, YOU can! <BR/><BR/>WTG! Ilsa and Ingrid! So proud of both of you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469891836497620052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800323056669124661.post-18578011826718564182009-01-21T13:37:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:37:00.000-05:00oops...I meant "esp. if they DIDN'T get to go to h...oops...I meant "esp. if they DIDN'T get to go to half-day preschool"...silly me...and I do know how to spell BRILLIANT (what is UP with me?).Karisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623762917282934140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800323056669124661.post-87032973174594857472009-01-21T13:35:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:35:00.000-05:00We're far from kindergarten, but I (of course) hav...We're far from kindergarten, but I (of course) have some opinions. Up here in Nearly Canada, everyone has switched to all-day kindergarten. Frankly, I think that is just too long of a day for these kids, ESPECIALLY if they did get to try preschool half-days as a transition. When I went to kindergarten, it was half-day everyday...and that's what I like. The daily routine remains the same, yet they aren't having to "learn while exhausted". As far as homeschool goes, that's definitely an option we're considering for our family. I know Joy B. has done the state-sponsored, at-home computer+curriculum. When we were there last spring, she was really liking it. :) I'm currently reading "A Thomas Jefferson Education" by Oliver DeMille. It is my opinion that EVERYONE who is either a parent or a teacher should be REQUIRED to read this book. Definitely worth the read...even if you decide you don't want to utilize his brillian educational model, it's a good model for spiritual education and leadership in the home. So there. ;) I pray your decision comes easily and is obviously straight from God. :)Karisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623762917282934140noreply@blogger.com
