The oldest 3 girls this year are attending a local charter school instead of homeschooling. I was really nervous about it, knowing that they were behind in some areas but way ahead in others. Two of them had never attended a school at all, and Missa has only done half a year of K in school. Needless to say, my anxiety was running high this week before they started school on Thursday.
They got onto the bus at 6:45am just fine on the first day, although Kimmy was a bit grumpy because she's not a morning person anyway and wasn't too keen on the idea of going to school. The bus brought them home almost a full hour late that day, and poor Kimmy had fallen asleep on the bus so she wasn't too steady at first. Missa and Liddy loved school, and Kimmy hated it that first day. The second day I had to carry Kimmy to the bus and force her to get on it, which I did because we made the decision that if we withdraw any of the girls the decision will be made after Halloween, allowing them the opportunity to fully adjust and get a really good feel for the school. However, after school Kimmy hopped off the bus smiling and saying that she liked school a lot more.
Now I am having to listen to the 3 girls all complaining that they want to go to school and that they can't wait for the weekend to be over. They have this upcoming Friday and the following Monday off, giving them a 4 day weekend, and I just know that they aren't going to be too happy about it. I hope they can keep up the excitement at school for the rest of the year.
As far as Jojo is concerned, we start logging her attendance for OHVA tomorrow. So I'm going to spend today trying to get a fairly workable routine for lessons made out and looking over the lessons to be sure I have all the necessary supplies for the week.
