I'm beginning this blog to document some of the ideas, resources, strategies, successes and flops of homeschooling my daughter. I am a single mom of the fabulous Emily Yan! I adopted Yan from Hong Kong when she was almost four years old. She is "chromosomally enhanced" (aka, has Down Syndrome) and is the light of my life!
Yan is beginning to speak, she has around 100 verbal words, but knows over 500 signs (Thank you "Signing Time"!). I am homeschooling for many reasons including: One-on-one instruction, keeping Christ in every part of our days and lives, behavioral/attachment issues, and many other reasons. I am a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist. I work 2 1/2 days a week doing home health/private therapy and homeschool around my schedule.
Come join our journey. Get some tips, leave some tips...just join the fun!
Blessings,
Jenn
About Me
- Jenn
- I'm single, mom by adoption to Yan and Mady. They are the sunshine in my life. Yan happens to be chromosomally enhanced (has Down Syndrome) and keeps me hopping on a daily basis. Mady was born as a 1 lb., 12 oz micro premie and has beat all odds. She is curious and busy! We are a homeschooling family and would love to expand our family again someday. I am a grateful Child of the King and am learning more daily about what it means to be free in Christ. Professionally, I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist by trade...but I took time away to get Yan and Mady stable and have enjoyed running estores online. I am beginning my own practice again on a part-time basis and am excited to start working with children again.
