And your teacher is....

My girls will have a fabulous teacher this year....ME!  Of course M2 is such a wee little pumpkin that she'll not have a formal time of school this year (it will be here before I can blink though), but M1 will be homeschooled for 2nd grade.  As a former teacher, I always thought about homeschooling.  I wasn't sure if I would ever have the nerve to do it....but, I guess I do.  Homeschooling for us wasn't a solution to learning issues, protection for our girls, or an escape from the public school system.  Fortunately for us, M1 has had an amazing experience in public school so far.  For us, we just wanted to have more time with our children.  I have the ability and the education to teach my children, so why shouldn't I?  I can cover in 4 hours what it takes 7 hours to do in the school system.  I can teach from 8-12 each morning and spend the rest of the afternoon really LIVING with my girls.  We can do PE, art and music EVERY DAY!!   I'm super excited, but I sure hope they don't think their teacher is the meanest one ever!
