Preparing

So tomorrow School starts. What will it be like trying to create a learning environment for the kids in this house where comfort prevails and our habits are bad?
I hope that we can transition into a schedule that allows work to be done efficiently so our days don't drag.
Rosey is used to the dynamic class of Maryann Tully. A legendary Kindergarten teacher who truly taught the kids everything they needed to know! There is no hype in that statement. She is awesome.
I won't hold a candle to Mrs. Tully, or any of the real teachers my children have had over the years, but the challenge is to get them through so they learn what they need to succeed in school and help to set them on a path that doesn't include the nonsense that we were encountering at their last school.
I would have never believed I'd be doing this!

Now she's doing this!


Still the same old me, but there have been some changes. The kids have run out of Education options in this state, so we have decided to resort to Virtual School.
YIKES! I can do anything, and that is even more true of my kids, so I'm not afraid, really, but I'm not a fan, of "Homeschooling".
This will be different, because I'll make sure it's different, but it is not my first choice. We must come up with a viable alternative before Regan reaches High School and that's next year...
There's a lot more to tell, but I'm going to post small bits for the next few weeks to get caught up.
I have a lot to say and I've decided to begin, AGAIN.
New Beginning...that sounds full of possibilty, doesn't it?
