So we just completely day 2 of school this week. James only takes an hour to do it all and so far not a word of complaint from him! I'm amazed... tho I'm sure the complaining will come. He picked out "Frog & Toad All Year" at the library yesterday so I thought we'd give it a whirl. I looked at it this morning and thought "no way." But in the first 3 pages he only needed help with "wonderful", "beautiful" and one other word I can't remember right now. I was so surprised. Then why does he fight it so much at times?? I'm thinking this will help build his self confidence in reading tho. He was quite proud of himself for doing it today! Now the complaining, dawdling and mind wandering is coming from Levi. Maybe cause he has completed one year of school this is all "old hat" to him?? He keeps looking at James' work and then at what Sammy &/or Beth is doing... or staring out the window. LOL! I kept having to say "School." He finished w/in 1.5 hrs, but could have done it more quickly had he not be day dreaming so much. I guess that's pretty typical for a 7 y/o tho. Beth is doing a K workbook... she likes it of course. It's so simple, but she likes feeling like she's doing something. Coloring, cutting & glueing are all good. :) Sammy is trouble with a capital "T". Throwing playdough, cutting things that shouldn't be cut, etc, etc, etc. He keeps busy doing good things, but then decides to try other things while he's at it. *sigh* And then if anyone tells him no he does the typical 2 y/o SCREAM... which is extremely annoying. I've started removing him from the room the minute he starts because it's SO distracting. Hopefully he'll get the idea and stop soon.
