homeschooling thoughts

 The weekend was good. I went to a homeschool event which was interesting. 

I learned a few things there.

In my area I am a bit odd to homeschooling, like I wear pants and I plan to teach evolution as well as creationism, but not for like 10 years and thus I don’t see the need to have cirriculm that is based on either theory.

I don’t have nearly enough children to homeschool.
 

Samara and I may clash because I think very abstractly and I don’t think she does.

I have a visual processing problem, that I could chose to work on, or I could simply live with it because I have figured life out up until this time.

I am easily bored, and I feel kind of cheated that I went to public school where my assingments were dull, and had not room for varaitation, and I didn;t learn that much.

I also found out there are lawyers that help with homeschool law, so hopefully someone can help with the whole therapy/school/homeschool/insurance company thing. 

I was overloaded with choices on what to do, but I still haven’t found exactly what I want to do for her next year. I need some cirriculm and a plan to follow. I know she needs to learn how to read, and I need to figure out how to meet her sensory needs, and help her be happy.

We started yesterday on some school with a unit study on dinosaurs.

She is sad she can’t go to preschool anymore. She actually cried. I feel bad, she is having a hard time with change, but you know we all do sometimes. 

With the whole homsechool thing I am not sure i have any clue what I am doing, but I am doing it. The pros to this out weigh the cons to it, and it is something that needs to happen so that Samara is not trampled to death a school that is not going to have her best intrest at heart, and tells me I am simply a bad mother, and if i beleived in better disciplene then she wouldn’t be autitisic. 

I am optimisitc about this. I view it as a challange. It will be good right?

Of course it will be. Homeschooling means no fighting her to wake up every morning. No transportation issues with me in school, and no absences for therapy. 

ughh my sister left the gas stove on all night again, (second time this week 4th time in the past month) and we had to leave the house in a rush when we woke up. It smelled so bad. I think we need to start having emergency drills with Samara. when we told her we had to leave she sat there and cried
