I love her!!!
Yes, week three of homeschooling is in the books. I definitely knew that there would be some challenges. Has there been some challenges? Oh yes!! Loneliness seems to be one of my biggest challenges. I am social and like to be around people. FYI, you are not around other people when you home school . I really can't talk to anyone because I have to sit with Sarah, so she will complete her work. She basically has a one-on-one teacher. I am hoping that she will eventually catch on and become more independent. Praises: she has had some good moments. She will be working really hard some mornings and some other mornings...well not so much. I am happy to say that she seems happier. She hasn't had any outbursts during our school day. She does look forward to the extra curricular activities. She is enrolled in gymnastics, horses, piano, youth group, enrichment morning, and 3D printing class. Sarah has also started her own blog and she loves doing YouTube videos. 
It is Monday at 9:00 and she asked me when she was finished, if we could go on a field trip, and when she could have her break. She also said she was hungry. She started at 8:00 a.m. Ummm how about you finish some of your school work and we can take a scooter break? We were out on her scooter break (I'm walking) and we run into a lady with a Pit bull. I'm scared of Pit bulls and she knows it. She usually tells everybody that I'm scared of them and I don't like Pit bulls. Well, today she talked to the lady and didn't even try to touch the Pit bull or tell the lady about me being scared of them. I was so proud of her. She did yell at me within ear shot of the lady and her dog, "Mom aren't you proud of me. I didn't touch the Pit bull or tell her you don't like them." Oh Sarah!!!
Up next, challenge is to find lots of ways to motivate Sarah to complete her work. I already have a chip reward system in place.
