Homeschooling with the Posey's

So we have spent the summer getting things together for our classroom this year. This will be the first year we homeschool without any help. Last 2 years Big E was in a kind of co-op, so 2 days a week he'd go to school and learn and then I'd teach him the other 2. At first I was scared to teach on my own, but now I'm so excited to take on a challenge that not only is rewarding to me, but teaches the kids. I've been collecting books and teaching items throughout the summer. We now have a school desk for Big E,a small children's table which I painted top with chalk board paint for practicing math problems. Plus a half wall of chalkboard paint for Mad to draw while Big E is learning. I've collected a good amount of learning posters and the ABC's in sign language...and the best part 3 dry erase boards. This year is going to be so much fun, on top of everything I'm doing at home, Big E is also going to be in Cub Scouts so that should be a great socially, but also great for our adventurer. He told me the other day when he grows up he wants to have a job where he can help people and animals, and be outside all the time. I'm so happy he loves being outdoors so much.
So I had to share photos of our school area...but I must add, my husband has destroyed our blinds in the kitchen trying to kill flies. I don't know if everyone else is having similar fly issues, but if the door is open for a second we have a whole army of flies come in ;)

  1. I admire you so much for the homeschooling situation you are in with your kids. I wish I could do that!
    As for the fly situation...ugh...the same thing happens to us, in turn I put up those disgusting, long fly strips to catch any of them that show up.
