Well, it seems we will be homeschooling once again. Since we will be renting in one school district and building in another, we didn't want to deal with two schools. Homeschooling for the remainder of first grade with the possibility of using our building permit in the fall to get into the school district we will be building in seemed like the best option.
I have thought about what didn't work last time we tried it and have come up with some solutions to hopefulling make it go better this time.
What Didn't Work
*no co-op
*no help with Aubrey
*journaling curriculum didn't work for Gracie
*not giving Gracie enough work
*not enough breaks from each other!
Possible Solutions
*a co-op is a MUST...looking into one right now
*my mom will be helping with Aubrey in the mornings, and we will utilize Aubrey's afternoon nap
*curriculum will now include teacher-planned themed units with more worksheets (Gracie's loves them!)
*keep a folder of work for the month, covering all subjects, and work our way through it, if the work runs out, find more
*join Awana for another social outlet and get plugged in to a Sunday school class
