We have begun a new season in our life. I heard the term "season" from several people recently and it fits perfectly for different periods and circumstances in life. Cyler is attending a private school and doing so well. We stumbled upon this school in a Facebook post. There is a teacher that was fed up with our local school system and wrote a resignation letter that went viral. She decided to open a school where kids could learn in a progressive, playful, and hands on environment. We decided to jump on board and haven't looked back. He goes 3 full days a week and studies his core subjects with children in and around his age. He is in the "lower primary" classroom. Kids age from 5-9. Basically k-2 but not strictly. Cyler is learning in a way that suits him. He is reading! He likes to read!
This has been a huge adjustment for our family. I have started working again...remotely. The 3 days that Cyler is in school; I do my work at Starbucks so that I can be nearby. His school is about a 30 minute ride from our house and I feel better being close. Besides, I get coffee and free refills!
Cyler still participates in dance class and is the only boy in his class. He doesn't mind being the only guy one bit. In fact, he loves all of the attention. He performed in his first recital last spring and did super well. He is focusing more and enjoying the process. He will have a small part in the Winter Wonderland show coming up here in a few weeks. Can't wait to see that!
