He's only 4!! That's what Tyson and I kept telling each other over the summer as we tried to decide what to do about school for Sawyer this year. He is difficult to place because he does not turn 5 until December but his is ready for kindergarten now. We did Preschool at home last year he already knew most of the information so it was just a refresher. Lately he has been begging me to teach him to read. He has all his favorite books memorized and at night he will ask Ty and I to teach him new books.
I spent a lot of time praying about what to do. I did not feel peace about sending him off to public school. Even sending him to a private or Christian school does not fit our budget right now. Beyond all that I just wasn't ready to send him off. I was home schooled and I never had a set feeling either way about how I would school my own children. Honestly I though I would have another year to figure it all out....After much prayer and talking it through we decided to home school this year. I did a lot of research and decided I needed a full curriculum to follow. I ended up deciding on the Abeka K-5 program. I am really excited about it! My mom laughed when I called her and said "this is legit school!" It's going to be a lot of work but I am excited for Sawyer! He is ready for this and I am thrilled to see all he is going to absorb in this next year!
Me "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Sawyer "Yoshi"
Me "Well you can't become a cartoon. What job do you want to do?"
Sawyer "I want to be a builder of lots of things!"
Sawyer after school "Hey mom, I can learn anything!"
