We have about 15 minutes of spring and then BAM -- here come those lazy hazy crazy days of summer.
This made me smile. I love your sense of humor!
We are home from taking DH to his yearly eye appointment. Thankfully it was all good. We dropped DH off at the doctor office and went list shopping at Sam's. I knew his appointment would take an hour because it takes 20-30 minutes to dilate his eyes. We were back to pick him up in plenty of time.
Homeschool has been getting the short end of the stick this week. With homeschool coop (2 hours) and 4 medical appointments in 2 days, there has been no time left. We have only accomplished 2.5 hours of homeschool this week. On the positive side though.....they were very productive and high quality learning 2.5 hours. Next week public school ends so that means DGD6 will be here more hours. I don't know how we are going to get homeschool accomplished then. We are just going to have to experiment to find the best way to make it happen.
This morning I finalized the decision on 2 of the Math curriculums for next year and got them ordered. I'm going to continue with our current method of using multiple curriculums because it is working so well for DS9. Switching the learning styles during Math time keeps it interesting. Each curriculum we use has something that helps he learn better than the others. There is lots of repetition but we quickly go through the easy things and sometimes we skip over the things that have become ridiculously super easy for him. Every single day there is confidence-building easy problems and there is something new introduced. We are going to be doing 4th grade Math in one of the curriculum and 5th grade Math in 3 of the curriculums. It probably sounds more complicated than it is. Once I get all the lessons organized it becomes super easy to do with almost no prep. We set the timer for 60 minutes then do multiple short lessons. Today during that 60 minutes DS9 did some lessons on the computer, he did several worksheets while laying on the couch, he was bouncing on the mini trampoline while we did flashcards, he recited the fact families to the puppy and then he solved problems that were written on the dry erase board including several drawings. The math time just flows from one Math curriculum to the next until the timer goes off.
