At the beginning of July we got Casey's work books and after we went shopping for supplies! This month has been busy! Training meetings for me, Casey's school pictures, meeting his teacher and so forth. It has been a lot of running around! I'm loving homeschooling him though! The K12 program is great and he only has to go to HTA (Hawaii Technology Academy) once a week for an 1.5 hrs. where he'll review what I've already taught him. I love waking up at 5:30 am in the morning to a quiet house and teaching Casey one on one! I get to be there every step of the way! I've already seen how much he has progressed in the 3 weeks we've done homeschooling. It's crazy how much he'll consume in one days homeschooling. A lot of people wonder why I homeschool when I have 3 other kids. Well, Hawaii isn't known for their school education and 2nd I couldn't let Casey go to school for 6.5 hours a day! He's 5! That's way too long for a 5 year old to go to school in my opinion! 3rd how much would Casey really learn in a setting of 30-32 kids? Could Casey memorize the 7 continents, locate them on the math or globe and pledge of allegiance in less then 1 hour? probably not. But he did with me! I get to make sure he knows everything before moving on to another subject. I love it!
On Caseys first day of school I was the last parent to walk away and the first to show up to pick him up. I couldn't help but cry. I know. It's sad. He only left me for 1.5 hours but he's growing up so fast!
