As the debate continues over whether or not to homeschool, we have decided to collect more data (my engineer husband's way of looking at it). We have signed her up for preschool as a trial run in August. We just have questions that need to be answered before we can decide what to do for kindergarten. Some of them are...
*Will she like it?
*Is her need to be with other kids on a regular basis being met?
*Will my relationship with her improve if we get regular breaks from each other?
*Will she just get sick all the time from being around all the kids?
*Will she prefer to be at home instead of school?
*Are Jim and I comfortable with it?
*Is she learning bad behaviors from the other kids?
*Is she participating?--something Gracie does not always willingly do
*Is she even learning anything?
*Can we afford to keep sending her?
No matter what we decide, I will still continue to homeschool her. It is just in me, a part of who I am. In fact, I just found some really neat old-fashioned readers that I am going to order to start teaching her to read! I am super excited!
