We have had a very busy and crazy month. Zman started school at the local public school at the beginning of the month. We started regular schedule at home for school with SuperE and PrincessZ, (that didn't last long). Then I found out about a Charter School in town that does a Microsociety program. They had just one spot open in their first grade class. So after just 9 day at the regular school we moved Zman to the Charter school. And he is just finishing is first full week there and so far we love it. His teacher is great and I love how small the classes and school is. Microsociety is a great program. They run their school like its own little state where every class is its own little city. They have a governor, judges,and lawyers, and even some of the older kids run businesses that the younger kids work for. The kids get paid and they earn money in class and learn how to pay taxes and other bills. It shows the kids the "whys" of learning. And shows them that being a good member of a community is just as important as learning how to read and write.
Besides the changes in school we have also had a few changes at home. At the beginning of the month I started have lots of dizzy spells. I have been diagnosed with vertigo and have been taken off work indefinitely. So I get to play the stay at home mom for the time being and on days that I am feeling okay I love it. The kids have really been enjoying me being home, as much as I have. But it has been adjustment and we are just now getting in to a normal routine. And on top of all of that we have been passing a cold around the house. This is why I haven't posted anything this month. Next month I hope to post more and talk more about homeschooling and the kids.
