A New School Year, A New Adventure Part 1

When we first started homeschooling we joined a homeschool group that was highly recommended from various sources online.  We left shortly after joining because we felt each visit was a sermon. To supplement her social interaction with kids her own age I signed her up for Girl Scouts.  She loved it.  Her troop leader Ms. Carol was amazing.  Kira learned and accomplished a lot in the couple of areas that troop was active.

Two years ago Kira joined another troop.  This troop was not as active and the girls primarily played in the gymnasium.  They did some crafts but the troop leader really didn't show the enthusiasm her first troop leader shared.  After two years it disbanded.  We have debated about putting her in another troop but to be honest I really didn't see that she was gaining anything.  Actually no.  She did gain something.  She gained a good friend as did I.
