homeschool mom...

so kervens and i just completed our second day of homeshooling and it is going well...he and i are sorting through what works and what doesn't and we are discovering the many challenges of education where resources are limited...i have "known" that was true for some time now but becoming a teacher myself in a developing country has given me a new appreciation for all the educators throughout the world who equip students using mostly their own creativity and resourcefulness! they work is so valuable and they are to be treasured!! i would love any imput that anyone has in this area...i am sure kervs would appreciate it too!



in addition to school with kervs we are trying to bring the "big kids" upstairs at least every other day to work on motor skills, color and letter recognition and other skills that will prepare for them school since richardson will start next year and isna and clo clo won't be far behind...they are all doing really well...and they ask daily "casey i want school...and i want dance" i just have to figure out how to get them to stop asking a million times in a row!



poutchino's seizures are getting progressively worse...we had a doctor in who thought there might be a connection to his o2 levels and the seizures...thankfully a group who came back in november brought an o2 concentrator so we have been able to put it to use! we are also considering that he may need a different or additional seizure medication...i have been wanting so much to do more interaction and therapy with him but this situation makes me a little hesitant...i am trying to work with him in very short intervals so that he is getting the interaction but not getting overstimulated... please pray for this little one and for dorothy and the doctors for wisdom...being responsible for his care weighs heavy on mama dorothy...she wants to do all she can to keep him healthy...



ser ava has put lunch on the table for us so i guess that is my cue....



show love...much love!
