My darling first born is off to school today. She got up an hour earlier than she needed and was ready before I could wipe the sleep from my eyes. I think she is just a wee bit excited to go!
After much deliberation, my husband and I decided to send Aletheia off to a cute little private school that is run by the Sisters of St. Joseph the Worker. They are, I believe, the only school who offers daily masses, monthly adoration, and stations of the cross in my area. I am sad that I won't be homeschooling her - especially since I have her curriculum written out until February. It takes a long time to put a curriculum together and I spent many hours reviewing, adding, and subtracting to make my schedule run smoothly but I believe we were called to put her in this school and all of my hard work of figuring out my kindergarten curriculum helped us in selecting this school. See, we interviewed two other schools and I had so many questions to ask about the curriculum that they thought I was a teacher! I'm going to be one of THOSE parents. Hey, if we are paying for someone else to teach her, she better be getting a darn good education and not just "craft time" all day.
Watch out! The tiger mama is coming out in me.
p.s. Two posts in one day. It's a miracle. Hallelujah!
