It's the Saturday before our school year begins and there are still many preparations to be made. Our Schoolroom is getting a coat of paint before the furniture we've been collecting all summer can be moved in. School books, crayons, paints, paper, play silks, yarn knitting needles, jump ropes and nature table supplies clutter our kitchen table in waiting for their places in our new room. The excitment I have felt all summer for this new school year to begin is at it's highest. I just know Sunday night I'm going to find it hard to sleep just like when I was a kid waiting for Christmas morning.
Some moments I feel ready to begin and others I feel inept. It's our first year privately homeschooling. Which means without a charter. I stepped out on my own to teach a Waldorf education to my son, Joey and because of problems with the Charter school we attended (http://tracypress.com/content/view/10765/2244/) to teach state standard education to my daughter, Eden. It's taken a lot of work, money and prayers to get ready for this year. It's exciting, but I'll admit it's scary too.
So the adventure begins!
