Kindergarden Prep at Home

We've moved a lot. 

It's been necessary in today's economy, for us, to be willing to move to where the jobs are. 

We spent almost a year in the last city. 

Put Belen in preschool. 

She LOVED it. 

But, then we had to move. 

We now live in an area where preschool is included in the public school system. 

We also live in an area that isn't well known for it's academics. 

So, I guess it doesn't matter so much that the preschool program is full and I couldn't get Belen in anyway. 

I still tried. 

Because I know she'd love it.

So, until the next move, we've been doing our Kindergarden prep at home. Luckily there are many talented people who have shared their lesson plans for the un-talented ones (like me) to use.

It still takes me far too long to prepare a lesson for the next day.

I cross my fingers and hope she won't be bored.  

I hope she won't compare me to her old teachers.

I hope she won't miss her friends.

But she usually is, and does, and does again.

I still try.

Somehow she learned how to add.

As difficult as it is for me to be her teacher, I never would have known just how smart she is without this experience.
