With poison ivy gone, my thumb almost healed, and the weather cooling off tremendously, September has brought lots of new events in just this first week! So far, Larry's 2nd year of teaching has gone great!
Last Tuesday, September 1st, James started pre-school-- homeschool style! 5 other mothers and I have collaborated together in planning out a schedule of rotation in teaching, assistant teaching, themes, concepts, and skills for each week for this coming fall, winter, and spring! It's somewhat modeled after the Joy School model, but we chose not to follow their curriculum. Needless to say, I hosted the preschool at our house and taught this past week! It was great fun, and James thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm going to make the most of these next 3 remaining years before James starts Kindergarten in 2012!
