Wednesday Commute

2/13/2013

0 Comments

 
I love my Wednesdays! You may think it is crazy, but I love my Wednesday for the long commute.  My normal every day drive is 5 minutes (in traffic).  On Wednesdays, I drive for over a half hour and it is one of the only times during my week that I can "think."  I mean really think - minus rapid fire questions from 3 very curious kids.  So on my commute today, I was beating myself up - worried about how little time I spent reading with my 6 year old, how quickly I flew out the door at the sight of my babysitter, and worried that maybe, just maybe, the rushing isn't worth it!  

My story was different on the way home! To see the look on that little boy's face today when I told him what a great reader he is - that's worth it.  To receive not one, but two hugs from Mommies who are frustrated with their school system - that is worth it.  To know that I may one day be a part of something so much bigger than a small center in a tiny town - that has to be worth it!  On the Wednesday commute home, I reaffirmed that CHANGE is definitely worth my time.  The conversation cannot end - join Your Village - continue the conversation!

Where's the love....the love of learning???

As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, I cannot stop thinking of our reason for homeschooling.  I have always wanted my children to LOVE learning, not be forced to do it.  I want them to LOVE discovering something new, LOVE the feeling of hard work paying off, and LOVE where learning takes them.  One day my children will LOVE their jobs, not work at something they were supposed to be good at! 

It is a scary time when A's mean more than happiness! You must read this one, too!

Remember when....
   
                              Kindergarten meant......
- learning to tie your shoes
- meeting friends
- learning to share
- writing your name
- experiencing art and music and centers
- voicing your opinion clearly

Those days are over.  Welcome to the life of 6 year olds stuck in the professional world! You must read this article.  Share your own experiences with your children and kindergarten.

    My mind is flooded with all the topics in education and thought a blog may help getting the information out to our clients.  As an elementary/special education teacher, Literacy Specialist, and mama of 4 young children, I never stop learning!  My students are always my teachers.
