We spent Saturday morning volunteering to help assemble hundreds of bundles of cards for a reading program. We were rewarded for our efforts with a set to take home. Molly loves it! We have been having a great time working on it together. She earned six stars in the first two days. We took today off. She had a class at the library called, "Folk, Fairy, and Favorite Tales"...tomorrow her science class starts and she can't wait! I love that we have access to these free classes at the library. They are taught by wonderful women who clearly love what they do. It is a great addition to what we are doing.
Molly did about five hours of school between Saturday and Sunday. I love the flexibility that homeschooling offers! I don't stress out when there are days we don't seem to do much and Molly sees school as a wonderful part of her life that has no time limit. It is such a natural part of our family and our life. She would be devastated if I ever told her she needed to take a break. It is so refreshing to see that passion for school and for learning in a child. It is a gift to her, not a chore. I will be forever grateful that I live in a state that is so supportive of our choice. I found out recently that most museums in our area offer free or discounted admission to homeschooling families. The Metra train offers student passes for homeschooled kids. Every day it seems that I find support for my choice to educate my child differently. We are very blessed, indeed.
