When did we first start homeschooling?  Well, she was born on November 12, 2011. Let the training and teaching begin! Since then we have persevered through infant tantrums and toddler potty training and rejoiced in first steps and first words. AbiNoelle has already surprised us as she has taken to learning the handbells and piano, loves singing, and has memorized Luke 2:1-20 and Matthew 28. A Beka Book is our educational curriculum of choice, and we have enjoyed completing the two and three-year-old material. Now, we are just days away from the real, big-time stuff! K4 – here she comes. The UPS man has already delivered the books and DVDs and AbiNoelle can hardly wait to get started. If it wasn’t for mommy’s determination that summer is NOT a time for school, she would have already cracked the books! Two weeks to go – got to get the school room ready. Bookbag has been ordered and will be delivered this week. (I know, you say, “What does she need a bookbag for?” Well, you see, mommy thought it would be fun to get a lunchbox and pack a snack in it to eat during break time, but AbiNoelle insisted that the lunchbox was no good because you couldn’t wear it on your arms…so a bookbag it is – she sure does know her mind.) Can’t wait to post a pic of the bookbag she chose. Stay tuned…
