how

Still not sure how we did it - but we did.

Got Kooka off to school, took Punk to Language arts class, went to work at my own school, picked up Punk, stopped for ham and cheese at Arby's, headed home and began homeschooling again. In less than 90 minutes we finished 15 pages of math, 3 weeks worth of spelling words, a pre-writing/brainstorming session, one geography lesson, and 2 computer math games.

Wow.

I am so surprised and grateful at how accommodating the public schools have been with loaning us books, allowing Punk to participate ala-carte, and offering so much support to this mid-year situation. It is the kind of flexibility and attitude we had hoped to find with charter schools, but when we inquired about such opportunities there, were told, "that it would be far too disruptive." Which is ok - everybody has their own thing, yet the local elementary school has been completely supportive of everything we need.

Punk had an amazing class today, fell in love with his teacher and the classroom, and overall, feels really happy to be in a place where he is challenged, creatively focused and most of all - accepted for who he is.
