1st Day as a Homeschool Mom

 

Well... It wasn't too much of a stretch...
I was homeschooled 1st-12th grade and I was a teacher... so it wasn't too difficult a decision to homeschool my 3 year old. I was a little worried that she wouldn't cooperate but I've been hyping it up for weeks to make sure that she was excited! I let her pick out all of her school supplies (who know a $0.50 pencil box could make a toddler so happy?), put them in our special school draw, and get our "classroom" ready. If you ask her where she's going to school, she'll jump up and down and shout "Mommy's Room!" It's great!

This was probably my most productive first day of school as a teacher. Maybe because I didn't have to do the normal get-to-know-you routine with a class of 25 kids... maybe because I didn't have to spend an hour going over classroom rules.... maybe just because it was one-on-one... I'm trying not to get my hopes up that we will be this productive everyday but at the end of the morning, Isabella could write the letters of her name (when I tell her the order) and the letter "A"! (among other things) Praying today wasn't a fluke and tomorrow goes equally well!
