My son aced his first unit test

After a month of officially homeschooling our son, I am glad to report to you that he has aced his first unit test. While it is true that most of the lessons we have been going through are more of reviews of previous things I have taught him right from when he was still very young, it is still such a joy to watch him progress before my very eyes.  Especially when it comes to the things that he is still not very good at, like his fine motor skills and paying attention.

The curriculum that School of Tomorrow provides us homeschoolers are just so neat that it makes it so easy for teachers to homeschool our children with the best quality of education a parent could give their child.  I will always be grateful for the privilege of being able to homeschool our son.

My Sweet Sister

As expected, I had to pre arrange some baby sitting task to someone for the hubby and I to have been able to attend the 2nd Homeschool Conference yesterday at CCF. My dear sister was the default, as usual. Having no nanny, it is not really easy for us to just leave our son to a stranger. It has to be someone who loves him. That is undoubtedly my one and only sister, Rose.

We left the house at past seven in the morning! I swore we were going to be so late! The convention was at eight. I just had to check everything around the house. Making sure the cooking gas is turned off, among other things. We have been seeing a whole lot of gas fires and electric fires in the news lately and we should really be cautious. It is good that in this tropical country we don’t need any of those hole in the wall fires, although it should be a great aesthetics in the home.

I really appreciate my sis. She had to sacrifice yesterday her visit to the gym just to care for my little one. She would diligently SMS me how my son is doing and thank God he did not get any fever the whole day yesterday.

The Homeschool Convention was a Blast!

I was never more convinced to homeschool my child than today! The convention that the hubby and I attended yesterday was a blast! I was not feeling well still, but the effort that we gave to attend that convention was well worth it.

Remember the post I did a few days back, reporting that my son was now fever free. Apparently, yesterday at 2 A.M. I woke up and felt his skin hotter than usual. He had a slight fever. The cold virus hasn't left our abode just yet. So as expected we lost sleep again over making sure his temparature doesn't shot up again. Ergo, we went to the conference lacking sleep.
We are happy to announce that we are considering not to homeschool our kid for just one year but for several years! :-)
