Change is plans maybe????

Well the school system my daughter goes to has decided to close my daughters school. The upsetting thing is the school she would feed into has not past ISTEP in a few years besides they have a lot of bullying problems. Sooo.... it looks like we may be going back to homeschooling her again.



When Lizzie was 3 yrs old I started doing homeschool with preschool stuff to try and see if we could do it....at that time the reason for doing this was because I was a single mom working 2nd shift and I didn't want to loss out on raising my daughter. We did that until Fall of 2008...at that time I put her in public schooling because I had tried 4 different programs and I couldn't get her to read. So she has gone to public school for 3 years now. And for the last 1 1/2 years she has begged me to homeschool her again. But I have to be honest I didn't miss the fights with her about doing her homeschool....


Fast forward to now.....I have been doing my research again to homeschool her and there is so much out there. I get very excited about teaching her again. I still work 2nd shift so I don't get to see her but for 1 hour in the morning before putting her on the bus. So tomorrow we goto a homeschool convention here in Fort Wayne. I am just looking to see whats out there....


And I know the first question usually is socialization.....just to head that off Lizzie is in no way a skirt hugging girl....she is very outgoing dance, soccer, girl scouts and I am lucky to live in a community that has a hugh homeschool group that does field trips and P.E. classes at our college.
