Any info on homeschooling pls

Hi. Oh My God! Looks like we are coming! Hubby just got package details!
My 11 year old girl is in tears as she doesn't want to leave her friends. What kind of things do your older ones do? Is it easy to make new friends when you don't school? It's so easy to homeschool here as so many people are doing it. I want to cheer her up somehow. My husband will be working near the airport, Marrakesh Street (i think) so not too far from Sharjah as far as I can tell. So would be trying to find somewhere to live not too far away. It would be great to meet up. What an adventure!

Hi Christine,

Wow, sounds like things are progressing !!
We are in Sharjah, closer to the Ajman border, so technically only about 15 -kms away....on a good run (no traffic/accidents) about 1/2 hour.

Oh, I feel for your daughter, as my kids still pine for their friends back home some days. (though email /skype etc), makes it much more bearable !!

Perhaps get your daughter to start a scrapbook of her new adventure- keeping air tickets, letters from friends etc...and make it a special journal about her journey.

There are activities around for her such as swimming, gymnastics etc.

I would love to catch up when you arrive. I have a son who is nearly 11,a daughter who is 9 1/2 and another daughter who is 2 in a week. When are you looking to arrive?

Hi, we don't know when we will be arriving yet as my hubby may have to work a three month notice period but that is in negotiation at the moment.
Hopefully, he will only have to do one then it will all move along much more quickly. I'm hoping for November time though.
This is all so exciting, I can't concentrate on anything!
Not looking forward to having to sort out our messy house, although it's such a great opportunity for a clear out.
Regards,
Christine
