On Friday, after a month of attending Kindergarten at a local school, we decided that it wasn't working, so we have taken the steps to homeschool A this year.
As she has already completed most of the work taught during the kindergarten year, we are focusing on the grade one curriculum. A has spent a lot of time around her older siblings, and for this reason, she has already experienced much of what we will cover this year......so instead of pushing work at her, we plan to relax, have fun and work at her pace.
A's main interests are arts and crafts, math and reading. She also loves to be active outdoors. These are interests I plan to make the most of - encouraging her love of learning rather than making learning 'work'.
If you'd like to follow along and see the activities we do each day...please feel free to check back here regularly!

I think you have all made a good decision by going back to homeschooling. Abby obviously wasn't enjoying school and at that age, they should enjoy learning. You have taught her so much already, and she learn so much more when she is having fun!
I also think you are doing a good thing for her, from what you have said she was not enjoying school and needs more stimulation then what the school offered her.
I always enjoy your blogs and really enjoyed reading your year of HS.
