So, it's been awhile. Our former adventure in homeschooling ended after a busy spring. Followed by an equally hectic but fun summer vacation. After a brief moment of thinking all 3 of the big kids would be going back to school, situations out of our control led us back to homeschooling Little Dude. That situation being....the schools are convinced he's "too young" even though he falls well within the accepted range. So, we're homeschooling again this year. He hopefully should be ready to go into second grade next year.
We started Monday, the day our local school district started. The girls went into grade 5 at the local middle school and grade 2 at our home elementary. We decided we were done dealing with the uncaring principal at the school we were doing an intradistrict open enrollment to which got our eldest the gifted environment she needed. I am loving walking Thing 2 to school.
So far, we have had a busy week! We started off with the last Garden Center program on Monday, The Harvest. Wednesday, we went on a butterfly hike at the Wilderness Ceneter. Little Dude caught the most butterflies! He was SO excited. Wrapping up our first week back at it tomorrow with a spelling test!
