I have been buried in books and teaching resource guides and supply catalogs for the last three weeks. I have barely had time to think about anything except "school". I guess that is good. I think. Yesterday was the first day of actually implementing the things I have been learning on my own. I have come to realize that I need to really work on my approach to things. Content has little to do with the learning process. I knew this already. I just didn't realize exactly how true it is. I am teaching my eight year old cursive handwriting and multiplication. He is teaching me that both of those things takes the patience of a saint and lots of practice. We have worked very hard but it is taking us a full day to do what takes my friend's children about four hours. Mostly because we are still so new to it all. The joy is in the process. I really need to remember that. I need it written on my hand or something.
