Homeschooling here we come!

Last fall, Pearl, my 3rd grader, came home from school and announced that she wanted to be home schooled.

Hmmmmm…was my response and just let it go as I figured it was just statement/phase.

However, she didn’t let it go. Which led me to go speak with her teacher. Was she unhappy in her classroom?

Her teacher informed me that she was thriving – very happy, doing well and everyone wanted to hang out with her.

Okay then.

(And hmmmm…. again.)

I gave it a great deal of thought. Maybe she was calling out to spend more time with me? I do work from home so this is possible and well, she is my baby and when will I ever have the chance again?

The answer was easy…. ( and yeah….that apple on the books to the right, I am proud to say it is now for me!)

Let the homeschooling roller coaster begin! I am excited, really excited and so is Pearl.

I recently stumbled across Ree Drummond ( The Pioneer Woman) site on home schooling and chuckled at her comment on why she homeschools…

“Many folks support our decision to homeschool. Others think we’re crazy. I happen to agree with both camps.”

Thinking I have the same thoughts.

Does anyone have any sites or words of wisdom for me or Pearl?
