Homeschooling Parents

Even that doesn't sound like a lot of money to me, compared with all the expenses involved with having a child in public school. Anyway, I will keep you posted.

If you want to buddy up with me as an AFF Prayer Partner let me know.

I guess I'm thinking that because your daughter is an artist she needs to handle and touch to get the whole concept. I'm just not real big on computer programs for Math in the lower grades. That's just me. You know what will work for you.

Sure we could buddy up. How does that work?

I'm with you on her being a touchy feely kind of person. At the same time, I'd like for her to learn how to learn using books and a computer too. That's why I am hoping to go after this issue from more than one angle. I have realized that, even if we do get her caught up over the summer, we are probably going to have to supplement what she gets from public school from now on. I am just glad that we are taking care of this now, instead of trying to solve this problem in higher grades or worse, after she gets held back. I don't mean to sound like a name it and claim it whacko, but all of my kids are going to get an education, in JESUS NAME!!!

I agree. I would play the games and possibly do the seatwork on the computer if that's what you want.

Not a wacko by any means. I pray about everything. If I lost something like my car keys I would pray that I will find them. He wants us to depend upon him that much.

Every problem I had in school, He answered. It was awesome.

I was so scared when I started out. I was teaching my daughter to read and it was already May!!! I wasn't sure I had done everything. I was kneeing by the bed crying and praying before the morning session.

After I prayed I opened my phonics book and read a couple of pages. That last page I needed to study for that day said, "If you have come this far you have taught the student everything they need to know to understand phonics."

I burst into tears! God helped me every step of the way because it's something I felt He wanted our family to do. My husband was 100% behind me and the children wanted to be homeschooled also.

As you venture along, it will all unfold and you will know, after praying, which direction to take. It just works that way.
