Like thousands of other American moms, I homeschool my children. Call me crazy, but I love watching them learn. A blog is a easy way to keep track of how our days are progressing, so I plan on journaling here the ups and downs of our homeschooling journey.
Teaching Peter to read is turning out to be more difficult than it was teaching Susan. He’s getting the letters p, q, b, d mixed up and it’s frustrating him. And when he’s upset, it makes for an unhappy mom. An unhappy mom means everyone is unhappy. So we’ll concentrate on learning to identify the troublesome letters and do the fun stuff – me reading books aloud to him. He’s only six, so we have plenty of time. It’s great to be able to stop using a book or techinque that isn’t working.
