I just finished my first week of training for my new teaching position at Louisiana Key Academy, and I am so excited to be part of such an amazing team of professionals dedicated to the mission of helping the 1/5! Blessed that some of these amazing teachers/staff will take my girls under their wings and guide them in their learning this school year. I don’t necessarily look at this transition as an exit from homeschooling ; it is just a reshaping of our homeschooling schedule. A majority of the girls’ learning will be done outside of our home, yes… and I will not be their primary teacher during school hours… but my girls’ learning will be as it should be – prescriptive to their needs. Now, as far as the boy goes, he will be going to daycare for the first time 😦 to enjoy his “playtime”, expend some energy, and meet some new friends. Then, when my family coexists in the same location – under the same roof or under the same stars- whether it be in the afternoons, weekends, holidays, or summers – we will continue to enjoy learning as a “homeschooling” family!
