Another Day
Well, today is the first day of Homeschooling that I have not felt alot of stress. This year is definitly different for us. I cannot seem to get the right curriculum that I want. I am trying out some new things for us and some are working and others are not. I know that we (my Husband and I) are looking at the different curriculums and praying about what needs to be done. There are some things that just are not important and we need to weed out the un-important things in our lives.

We are doing the same thing. I think I want to minimize to maximize the learning. Does that make sense? I think there is just too much "stuff" and it crowds out the learning process. We are 3 weeks into our new year and I am looking at doing a major switch asap.... maybe a curriculum... or maybe I will do it all on my own with individual books. Figuring it all out is the hard part.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just stumbled on you through texassweethearts blog, but you did my Q&A thing the other day. Thank you. I enjoyed getting to know you through that. I tried to go to your blog, but one was not listed, so I am guessing you just set it up. I hope you do not mind another question... I was wondering more about your son.... his age? Does he live with you full time? I had a co-worker with a similar situation and her (at that time) 18 year old son lived in a group home. Only answer these questions, if you want. I just enjoy understanding my bloggy pals lives better. It is just interesting to find common ground in ways that may not seem so common.
Shannon, It is hard to figure the schooling out some years are harder than others. We have changed some of our even over the Thanksgiving Holiday before. We have some curriculum's this year that I like parts of it, but not the whole book, so we are taking what we need and leaving the rest there.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon you through The Twiddlebug Family Blog. I know her personally and texassweethearts too. Texassweethearts and I go way back before either of us were married.
Anyway, Our son, Allen, he is 19 years old and he does live with us full time. He goes to the school where my Husband is and is in a life skills classroom setting. He is not mainstreamed. We keep a very close watch on what goes on at the school and are involved. This is his last year, otherwise he would probably be at home with us. He does receive specialized therapies 3-4 times a week. So that helps us some. He can have an attendant come in our home up to 30 hours a week, we have had them in the past, but so far we do not have one that will fit our lifestyle and wishes for our/his needs. I hope this helps answer your questions and if you have more, I don't mind you asking.
Thanks for sharing that. It is great that your husband works there. Wonderful how God works things out like that!
