He is asking all sorts of questions about the mail man and how his letters are going to get to his cousins in Oklahoma so this is where I'm starting! We are going to study all about our community and the people that help us in our community. I'm so excited!
I'm looking online for different activities and books to check out from the library. I'm going to get the number to the local fire department, police station, post office, and maybe more to set up field trips to and I will be inviting my wonderful mom's group with us. I could see this turning into a whole month of learning about this huge topic.
I have to say this is what I'm excited for with choosing homeschooling over public school. I get to go with what Monkey is interested in at the time and carry that our into so many different and fun ways to learn! I'm struggling a bit with my teacher past and having to plan everything and make things flow into one another but I'm not going to worry about the flow. If we spend this month learning about community and next month Monkey wants to study dinosaurs and then space, I'm fine with that!
I'm going to go with the flow! Now for April I will have to plan a little more ahead than I think I will normally do for a theme and that's because we will be in Oklahoma for the month so I will have to go prepared to not only teach Monkey but his cousins as well. It will be fun to do activities with them too.
I'm so excited and I all of a sudden feel FREE! I don't feel stressed about this for the first time ever! I'm not going to let anything get me down!
...OK I really need to get back to work on planning while I'm on a role I just really wanted to share :)
