OK cannot believe that we are finishing up month two.  

Jessica is becoming a young lady. She is loving working with kids. She helps a kindergarten teacher and volunteers at MOPS.  She has something every day of the week.  She is working on communication skills. Loves talking to any one...like father like daughter. :) 
We are proud of you!!

Rebecca is growing up too fast. She is getting to know the in and outs of school.  She is keeping up with the homework. Her food/nutrient class, they are baking more and more. Learning all kinds of kitchen rules.  She knew most of them though. :)  We are proud of you! Learning to get outside her box. Good job, Rebecca.

Mark- works at Verizon and loving it. Thankful and grateful to God for the job. He is a customer service agent. In November they will be promoting and so we are praying Mark is one of those who will be promoting up. He is "the voice" of El Dorado High School. He announces most games at the High School. He loves that job!!

Month one- done...woo-hoo!

Good morning to all. Well we accomplish first month of home-schooling and first month of Jr. High at a public school.
Jessica is truly amazing! She is staying on top of her studying, community service, working out at a gym, teaching herself French. Very busy....but loving it.
Rebecca is such a brave and wonderful gal! She is just surprising us each day. Making new friends and loving her classes. Her teachers seem caring, interested in the child, and dedicated to teach our children...(which I have always known).
We are learning to cope with differences in public school and home schooling. Two very different ways of learning. One works for one child and the other works for other child. I never thought I'd be back in the public school system again. But, it seems to fit Rebecca. As long as she is safe and learning and loving it, she will stay in Jr. High public school.
It has been quieter in the mornings...very nice.
Jessica needs to go to places during the mornings so it works out for now.

Have a great day and second month!
