Here we are. Another Homeschooling year.

Except this year it’s different. I’m sending my oldest two BACK to school after 4 years homeschooling. They started in school, so it was like a family reunion of sorts. But with germs. Lots of germs.

Breaking up the band was Bittersweet.

But it was time.

So now I’m left with 4 littles at home (3 homeschooling) and let me tell you, the calmness of the first day/week was a bit terrifying. We are actually being productive. The kids are quiet…engaged…and really dig the “nerdy” homeschooling activities that their older brothers would “side eye” me for.

It’s astonishing really.

Min is 4th grade, Si is 1st grade and Raimie J is Pre-K (and thinks she’s the boss of the outfit). And one of our main focus’ this year is handwriting.

I was lucky, my older two learned to read and write somewhat legibly before we brought them home.

This 2nd wave never attended a school and their only experience has been homeschooling and while their teacher is decent she’s been a little bit lax on the expectations of clean, clear handwriting.

She is me. I am the teacher.

Thanks to A Reason For and their awesome programs, they make handwriting and the development of proper technique fun! These books are easy to comprehend and my kids DID not want to put them down. Their easy to follow instructions gave the kids accountability and the ability to move on to the next activity as needed.
