The Blog Has Been Brought To You By The Number 3
As in 3 more days till the end of the school year.
Single digits. Less than a week.
Friday, I'm closing up the school room.
OK, not really. But maybe I'll put a few of the books away for a while, and try to reorganize the paper explosion that has blanketed the basement.
And, of course (whispering this) the boys are still going to do some math workbooks over the summer. They're not going to be happy about that...
But still, in 3 days, our 4th and 1st grade adventure will end, and I will have a 5th grader and a 2nd grader. I think we're all looking forward to relaxing our daily schedule, hanging out at the playground or the pool whenever we want.
So, what was great about the year?
We had more fun field trips planned -- always a plus for the boys.
For the first time ever, I actually found a good balance of outside activities and staying-at-home time. Usually, I'm like Goldilocks -- my schedule is much too full or much too empty.
Hobbes' spelling and grammar improved dramatically.
Loved the writing class Hobbes attended too -- already signed him up again for next year.
Found a great occupational therapist to help Calvin with his sensory processing issues.
And improvements for next year?
We had to drop our math program about 6 weeks into the year and find something completely different. I've found math software (Teaching Textbooks) for Hobbes to use next year.
I've had to re-think my curriculum options for Calvin in general -- he's a very visual learner, so lots of oral work just doesn't click for him.
And I'm going to learn to say No. Right now, all my IRL friends reading this blog are ROTFL, but really, seriously, I'm going to get the hang of it. I promise. |
