It isn't quite spring yet, but I have completed one fourth of my "spring" meetings as a facilitator. I know that many homeschool boards do their second meetings a bit later in the year, but my board has us do them in March and April (and those of us with many families inevitably go into May for various reasons: sick kids, vacations, injuries, etc.).
So far the meetings are going well and only two families have had to rebook because of ill children.
Highlights:
Small siblings who want to be involved and show me their books or how they are learning letters and sounds.
Children's writing assignments, full of humor, suspense, and fun. These include book narrations, stories, essays, plays, and graphic novels.
Children who are so pleased with how far they've come in math or reading.
Sharing favourite books with children and finding that we like some of the same stories.
Getting more book recommendations from children.
Being able to encourage parents who are doing a great job teaching their children.
Long bus rides that are perfect for reading!
I am very thankful for my job. I really enjoy it, I get to hang out with children and hear what is exciting them, and I get to help parents as they teach their children. I also like the flexible schedule so I have time for other work and to serve the church family. I am so very blessed.
