I have decided that we need to move into the homeschool lessons slowly so yesterday we did a short science lesson about scientists and what they do. We also took a notebook and designated it as her "science journal" to put all of her science stuff in. Since my husband isn't completely on board and we are trying homeschooling for this year to see how it goes, I will need some concrete proof for him of the stuff we are doing, otherwise I would continue in the same way we did preschool - just living life and learning as we went.
Even though we are having some structure to her grade primary education, I still plan on it being quite relaxed with lots of cuddle time on the couch reading favorite books, as we have been doing since birth.
I am really hoping that as the year progresses and family sees what we are doing, they will at least accept our decision even if they don't agree with it. It would be nice if they were willing to discuss my reasons for homeschooling. They think I am doing this just because she is shy so I don't want to put in her public school. They don't realize that this is something I have wanted to do since she was born. Who knows, maybe someday they will read these posts and finally understand.
