Woo Hoo!! Final project for the Women's Studies course is complete and submitted! I am so glad to be done with that course. Not that it wasn't interesting or eye-opening in many cases, but it's nice to be finished with school for a month or so.

In other news....

It's official, we will be Sonlighters for at least the next year or three! I am excited about starting this curriculum with Kayleigh and the other kiddos I watch. I think a little more structure to their day will help with the bickering that has started happening daily. They seem to get tired of each other sooner than they used to, plus Kayleigh loves "doing school". Sonlight is literature based, so I'll pretty much be reading stories to them all year and adding phonics and math where appropriate. I have three different levels to teach to, so it should be interesting. There's Kayleigh who can read any three to four letter word with a short vowel sounds. Then there are two who are ready to learn letter sounds and beginning words. And then there's William who just needs to be introduced to the alphabet and numbers. All this curriculum planning makes me think about opening a preschool...but I really don't want all the business hassles of that!

The idea of homeschooling it still pretty scary to me. I worry that somehow I am going to mess up their education by not teaching something correctly. Then I worry that they will have social dysfunctions. But I really feel homeschooling is the best thing for them right now....we are taking it one year at a time, one kid a time.
