Please Pray……we will be homeschooling next year!!
Owen will be in 1st grade next year and this year
has been a bit challenging. Not what we expected kindergarten to be. Owen has
had a really hard time being away from home all day especially with Emma home
with me. His day is from 8:15-2, a lot different
from three days at preschool l from 8:30-11:30. I volunteered a lot in his
class hoping that would help, and it did for the most part. The school is a new
school with a lot of needed growth and we were willing to help them with that.
Long story but, we received a letter a few weeks ago stating that they will be
closing the school at the end of this school year. Kings Academy is / was the
only Christian School in Ojai. We really want Owen at a Christian School and
with Kings closing we decided that for 1st year our best option was
to home school him. We have a handful of other families that will be doing the
same and we plan on meeting up with them weekly. Owen is very excited about
this. We are hoping and praying for a positive experience and will relook at
the education system for second grade. We have already ordered our curriculum,
sonlight.com, if you are interested in checking it out. Pray for Owen and for me
during this new and exciting journey that is in our future!!
I know you will do an awesome job Heather, just look how smart he is already. Tara may have some tips for you as you know she home schooled Bobby and Vanessa and look how they turned out!! Awesome!! Just like Owen and Emma!!
