The first day of homeschooling wasn't bad at all. Very short. I do recognize I am currently only homeschooling one child, but I was nervous none the less. Although I was prepared, I quickly realized that I needed to adjust the area we are using for class.
My daughter, who I'll call Oregano, was very excited for school. Today, school lasted about an hour and that was good because I don't think she would've lasted much longer. She was very enthusiastic about the reward system. It's a classic reward system, but one that I think will be my sanity. Green, Yellow, Red cards. Green-good, yellow-not so good, Red-not good at all. If she is on green at the end of the day, she gets a sticker, fill up one row of stickers, she get a prize! Now, I'm talking her language! PRIZES!!!! Land on yellow, you get nothing. Land on red, you get to have a conversation with Daddy about why. Sounds good to me!
Excuse the amateur nature of this picture. I promise to get better.
I am so thankful to my husband and to the Lord that I get the opportunity to be at home with my babies and to teach them. I know there will be challenges and hard days, but I also know that there will be grace.
Also, I want to give you a link today to a page that REALLY helped me get organized. www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com If you are homeschooling, check out her page!
How was your first day? Your child's first day of school or homeschool?
Happy Monday!
