Me & My Boy

I had a crazy idea last week. After contemplating my choice between the cost of sending my son to a private Christian school for kindergarten, versus the rapidly declining yet free public school system, I was struck with the thought of “neither”. What if he didn’t not attend either place? What if I were to actually home school James (my little boy)? My college background IS teaching, its what I’ve been doing the past two years. Huh. That could work. The plan WAS for me to go back to college this fall, which could consist of mostly online courses, I would have the time, and I would be able to stay home. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. But what would James think? He liked school for the most part, and he had friends that went to school with him in preschool. So I asked him. And he was thrilled! He thought it was the best idea ever (actually I think the exact quote was “You’re the best momma ever!”), so here I go…traipsing into the unknown world of home school, of being the complete and sole supervisor of my child’s education. That seems a bit daunting. Like, if he doesn’t learn to read well, that’ll pretty much be on me. But then, I think of all the things he can learn with me that he wouldn’t at school. We’ll have time for music, art, field trips, and of course swimming, his favorite activity. I think this can really work. I’m up for it. Anyone have any suggestions, resources, schedules, or activities that work well for you and your family? Please let me know, I’ll need all the help I can get.
God Bless!
