Preschool

This is Isabella's last week of preschool. After much deliberation, Chris and I have decided to take her out of preschool. I will be teaching her at home until Kindergarten next year. This isn't permanent by any means. She will NOT be home schooled. This is just to get her through until next September.

Isabella always tells Chris and me that she is bored at school. The worksheets she brings home are things that she's been able to do for two years. We just can't justify spending $90 a month for something that isn't challenging her.

Isabella is very excited about this. Her friends Catherine and Elizabeth (the twins) are taught from home. There mother has them enrolled in an at home charter school online. Isabella understands that she won't see her friends as much and that staying home doesn't mean playing all day. She must sit and do her work when it's expected of her. I truly think she has a clear understanding of that.

We feel really good about this decision. She's a smartie and we don't want her to start to dislike school since it isn't challenging her. When she starts kindergarten next year, she can be evaluated at that time to see what her needs will be. She's doing 1st grade work already. So we'll see!

Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,

I think you are making a good decision for her. She is a smartie pants (whoops, maybe I should say smartie skirt since she doesn't like to wear pants@)
