School!

We just completed our first week of preschool!! It was so fun!

I'm babysitting my neighbor. Marie loves "teaching" Tay.

The first day Marie's attention span only lasted about half an hour. But by day 2, she was all about it! She talks about school all the time and gets excited when I tell her it's time to do school.


And in just one week I've seen a vast improvement in her tracing skills and her understanding of uppercase and lowercase letters. She's also doing amazing with coloring/painting inside the lines, and she doesn't have any trouble identifying any letter. I've never specifically worked with her on what numbers look like, but she blew me away with knowing 1-10 almost perfectly!


There's so much to learn and so little time!!


We know exactly why we're homeschooling. And sometime soon I'll write that out. But for now, I'll just leave you with, we believe it's what God wants for us to do right now.


And we love it!!!

I'd love to read any of your thoughts on homeschooling!


By the way, we're doing Erica's preschool curriculum. Highly recommend it!!

  1. You go girl! I totally commend you for taking full responsibility of raising up your children and instilling in them the truths of God's Word along with knowledge that must be taught and learned. Alex and I have not decided what we will do with our own children in regards to schooling but it doesn't look like we will need to worry about that for awhile anyways! Marie is absolutely beautiful and her pictures are great...she will be a wonderful student and her momma will be a great teacher as well :) Enjoy these moments with your children...they are gone in a flash
