First Day of School

Katie attended her first day of school today. It seems kind of weird to have her gone during school hours. The school audited the classes that she did in our home school. Most of her classes were accepted without any problems, except her history classes. We've been following a classical approach to history. The public school only accepts United States history and World history. They would have like to see African history and social studies.

Katie was able to sign up for non-core classes for the remaining 6 weeks of the school year. She's taking creative cooking (which should be interesting because she doesn't cook), choir, web design, business law, and something else with computers that I can't remember, and composition.

Her classes went well. Katie felt that the classes were easy and would pose no difficulties for her. A number of students approached her and introduced themselves. A couple of students walked her to her next class. She mentioned that everyone seemed friendly and helpful. (She even stated that living in our new town isn't so bad!!)

I'm sure that there will still be a period of adjustment, but I'm so relieved that she had a good beginning.
