More Thoughts on Schools

Another Snow Day
Yes, today we "celebrated" our second snow day of the school year. However, this time I was not jumping for joy. Why? Because the snow day prevented me from having the school tour and principal interview at our local elementary school. I tend to be a person who is open to signs from above. Could this have been a sign that the school is not going to work for us?
Jim and I have made a couple of decisions regarding school. We have placed Homeschooling by a Professional as our #1 choice, followed by public school (either our neighborhood school or our school of choice). Our #1 choice does prove to be a questionable one, because in order for the program to take off there needs to have approximately 8 students. I have been praying that other like-minded families come to the same conclusion as we have for our Ladybugs.
Homeschooling will allow my girls to continue to be a part of a small classroom of children, Christ-focused, and free to be themselves. Both our girls are very unique, and these unique characteristics have been fostered at there current school. Yesterday Zoe wore a 30 year old dress that was based on the style of Little House on the Prairie. No one found this to be different or weird, in fact a few thought it to be cool.
Waiting Game
So I suppose the fall is a waiting game. I was hoping to walk into our neighborhood school today and breathe a sigh of relief. I wanted to feel okay with it as a second option. Apparently I will have to wait until later this month. And for those of you who know me, this is definitely a lesson in patience.
