Day 1 of Homeschool
Day 1 of Homeschooling
Tomorrow is my children’s first offical day of homeschooling. I am still working full time, so I am doing much of the planning, but my husband and his mom are doing a lot of the day to day with them right now. I plan to also be actively involved in their learning on nights and weekends when I am home.
They were not thriving in public school - I have mad respect for teachers, but my kids were not doing well in the regular classroom setting, for a variety of reasons. We felt that it was best for them if they learn at home.
I am still trying to figure out what that looks like for us. We are taking a relaxed homeschooling/unschooling approach, and while I am excited about it, I am also nervous because I have the decades of ingrained expectations of “regular” school in my head. I worry, will I teach them enough? Will I teach them the right things? Will they fall behind? Will they succeed?
What I have to keep reminding myself, and they have reminded me even just over this weekend, is that they WILL learn, and they will be excited about it, if they get to lead. My kids both chose to play Starfall on a Sunday morning and learned about fractions and time - with no prompting from me. My 6 year old pulled out math flash cards to practice on her own - with no prompting from me. My son is learning all about puppetry and ventriloquism, because that is what he is interested in right now.
They will be okay. We will all be okay.
