This week I will be resubmitting my report for registration for my youngest home schooler.
It is amazing as earlier this year I seemed to struggle so much with it but now I feel older and wiser. the words just seemed to flow onto the computer screen without a glitch at all.
I am so relieved as I think they gave me two weeks notice to reapply but I think I have already written three pages so far. It will be a breeze this time around.
Like most home schoolers that start out I tried three or four different curriculums this year. It can take a while to figure out the right one for your homeschool. Then you think you could do more of different aspects of your homeschool program. Then you think am I giving one child more attention and time than the other. As it turns out my ADHD child tends to need more time as the focus and explaining of what she needs to do is absolutely critical.
I believe I will have to spend some time just going through and marking my sons work at some stage in the next month because I have to reapply for homeschool registration for him too. There is going to be a lot to mark!
My biggest downfall is that I am not a very organized person so of course I have left marking my sons work till last minute as it is on his computer and I really prefer a teachers guide to I can flick through some pages. The math’s is easy though the program marks itself so I wont have to worry about that.
If I were to improve my daughters work or look for gaps it would probably be she doesn’t do enough writing. May need to rectify that a little bit as her redistration does not run out until February but this has to be in shortly.
For anyone else also going though this process good luck wherever you are.
