We successfully completed our first week of school in the Taylor household! This is a reason for celebration. I have spent countless hours figuring out what to do with Nora for school. The options that we were mulling over were 1. homeschool 2. mandarin immersion program at a local public school 3. vancouver home connection.
After much thought and prayer, we chose numbers 1 and 3.
Nora is enrolled at Vancouver Home Connection. She attends kindergarten there Monday and Wednesday from 9-11 am. The rest of the week I teach her at home. We decided to enroll her in this school so she has an opportunity to have some learning time out of the house, have some special time that is hers, have a teacher (other than me) and have some time doing things with children her age.
At home we are following the Ambleside online program that is based on Charlotte Mason's philosophy. Our homeschool is the primary source of her education, with VHC being a supplemental education.
Nora is old for her grade level and I started Year 0 with her last year before Blake was born. I think she did amazingly well with it so I decided to jump into Year 1. So far we are off to a good start.
