Oh that would be fun. I can’t believe you haven’t moved to CA yet. I thought you were already there. We’ve already moved to Georgia! I don’t know if I’d be much help, though, I only made it through two years of home schooling. But I want to answer your questions anyway. 1.Very intense. You could also hold off on CC until 1st grade and not have really missed anything. I wasn’t actually convinced of it being best for kindergarteners. Just learning to read and manage numbers and other basic things is more beneficial in kindergarten I think. But you could get the CDs and plug in at K if you want. The CDs are the key. They learn it best from hearing it over and over and over. I read so much stuff on homeschooling, and now I hardly remember any of it. Oh yeah! Mangers if Their Homes! Of not if. That was where I learned the most. I never actually stuck to the schedule I made. Never. But making it and reading about other people’s schedules gave me lots of ideas. But as long as you make it your #1 priority to make friends and build a support system, you’ll be great. Especially since you have already been a teacher! That’s a great advantage.

Melwenna!! You got my last letter? It’s so exciting to hear from you! You can also email me at storiesofourboys@gmail.com. I’d love to hear how you are doing!

Thank you, Jen! You are such a great encourager.
