Congratulations, Erica. We homeschooled both of our children. The parents who have the biggest adjustments to make in homeschooling are those who are the most educated. They have to let go of their university training, school desks, concerns about scope/sequence, keeping up with the public school Jones’, etc. They have to learn to be at peace with the idea of exploring the world together, observing, reading, talking.
Your CI experience will make it easier to find your way through it all. CI and homeschooling have a lot in common. Both can be severely misunderstood and poorly executed. But both focus on relationship, communication, enjoyment, and exploration. Both require patience because the rose must blossom in its own season. But given consistent adherence to solid principles it will blossom and you will be amazed, after having felt like you messed up in so many ways, at how it all turned out.
(I do feel bad for your principal though. I hope they they find a worthy replacement.)
Thank you so much for the encouraging words!! The homeschool approach/method I am going to use is called Reggio Emilia. It is an “unschooling” approach (such a bad name for it). It is very student-led and reminds me a lot of the CI method which is probably the main reason I’ve decided to use it.
I feel I have missed out on being able to explore the world with my daughter, Adia, and I can’t wait for this adventure….I’m not going to lie, I’m also very nervous. I just need to remember what you said, “the rose must blossom in it’s own season.”
Thank you again so much for the encouraging words!
Love the parallels between good homeschooling and CI instruction.
