Day 2 of School

I am so blessed to have followed through with our decision to homeschool my nieces. Yesterday, one of them told someone they didn't do much. Compared to a public school, we didn't. They slept in until almost 9 am, they didn't get dressed, and they were pretty much done by noon.

They were so excited about doing Math, that when we sat down to eat lunch, they continued to do their work. I think I ended up eating more lunch than they did because they were so involved with the work. It was so exciting to hear C say, "oh, I get it!" to something she's been studying in the school system for 2 years. It's like a light bulb went off and we had only been doing it for about 30 minutes.

Before V put her things away, she looked at me with a smile and said, "I'm going to homeschool my kids." It brings a tear to my eyes just thinking about how much of a difference it has already made in their lives and it's only been 2 days. I know there might be times they will want to go back to a public school system, forgetting what they didn't like about it, but for now, things are going great.

Although we are already complete with our schoolwork for the day, we did a lot more than yesterday and still had fun. We did our Bible study, History, Home Economics, Science, Spanish, Math, and Literature. Now they are outside helping M make their beds and playing in the rain.
