Benefits of home schooling

Mary is helping out more around the house to include making dinner tonight.

Grocery Store

We had an amazing experience at the grocery store today.
Mary read our list and kept track of the prices of the items in our cart.
Ruth grabbed the things we needed and rounded the prices up or down so Mary could add them up.
It was great team work and good lessons learned.

Pokemon League

Ruth started playing Pokemon again today and had a really great time.

Sinking in

It hit today just what it means to have Mary home with me all day, every day.
It has hit her to, but we are going to go forward as this is what is best for her.
Please pray for us that this journey will go well for us, that we can make it.
Our goals for this semester are as follows..
1. For Mary to read instructions, directions etc instead of trying to figure it out, give up, or just not try
2. To improve Mary's reading ability, get her back to grade level and dare I wish ahead
3. For Mary to find a really good friend, some one who can support her and some one she feels comfortable around
More updates to come.
Thanks!

Kinex

They have taken over the front living room. To walk in there now means you are taking your life into your own hands.

Getting there

For those of you who don't know yet, Mary is now back to being home schooled.
With her hearing loss it was the right choice for this time, and I am praying that everything goes well for us on this journey.
We started today with a unit study on dinosaurs, and we are taking it slow and easy this week.
I'll keep you posted as the week goes on.
Stay warm!
