home schooling

well, a couple posts ago i showed a picture of jacob's first day of preschool, well, it didn't work out. so, i am home schooling him solely now. it was a little of both before and now we just took him out of the preschool he was attending. he came home with a lot of really naughty habits and i was spending twice as much time disciplining him and even one of the teachers said he was almost too smart for them, because he was getting bored and would just stare at them as they taught the other kids and he already knew it. he also started crying the other morning because he said his teachers were mean and sent his friends to time out because they wer always naughty and yelled at them, of which he said he was scared. he really didn't understand that their actions needed consequences. so, i have lost my more quiet mornings and traded them in for teaching, which i'm enjoying. DON'T GET ME WRONG... i LOVED that quiet time in the mornings and got a lot done, but i love being the one teaching my son and that i get to see all of his growth while it's happening... that is until next school year. we already had the process going for a local Christian preschool that uses home school curriculum and has a WONDERFUL Godly woman for a teacher and a close friend of mine, so i'm REALLY, SUPER excited about that, and for now i'll enjoy that time! my curriculum came in last week from a friend of mine and i've started even more than before and i'm excited to see what the rest of this school year brings.
