OK Home School has been a wonderful treat for the whole family!
I have learned so much; how if you don't use it you loose it... so true... I have learned a lot about my expectations of life and Jay, how my expectations are valid yet sometimes I need to walk my talk... learned how to relax and accept things the way they are and how to adjust my expectation around that! I have enjoyed life much more the last almost 2 years now... wow how it has flown by!
I jumped into this HS thing clothes and all... to find out simple is better and more productive... I did not need to be my usual "Structured" self in the way of creating this Broadway Production called Home School Life.... I figured out after about 4 months Jay and I both were stressed beyond belief about this adventure... Fiends and family though supportive, made things rough at first!
Jay and I both felt like we were under a microscope with every thing we did...so we dismantled our ideas and that of the public, of what the expectations of Home School should be and started to rebuild our own Hot Rod version of that idea!!! I can say we are burning the wheels off this baby now....Jay tested out of what should have been his 2ND grade year as a proficient 3rd grade student! Jay's level of responsibility has grown leaps and bounds! I am able to create a daily lesson in advance for him and know that at 7am he will get up and begin his daily responsibilities with self motivation and his own initiative! He has house hold responsibilities along with his daily lessons. Jayson has been able to achieve these responsibilities daily by 10am! With little to no reminding on my part!
I actually thought that this year was Jay's shining moment to return to Public School while I found work and worked on photography more... God had another plan apparently!
After enrolling him in school with the anticipation of him attending Heritage Elm., this was not successful due to capacity issues. Although disappointing, at the same time I was offered a wonder opportunity to take Respite Care training and continue care taking for a former student of mine,1/2 days, which allows me to still focus on Jayson's School and my Photography!
Now Jayson and I will slip back into the drivers seat of this well oiled machine we have built together, and burns some rubber this school year!!!!
I will be adding blogging to Jayson's daily responsibilities, so he will really be working on his typing and writing skills.... as I have said previously this will be new and a bit weak at first but he will beef it up as time goes on and he get comfortable with the idea of sharing!!!
