Two weeks down...
It was very helpful to redo the schedule. It is still very challenging because ds#2 really cannot work on much independently because he cannot write well--though the writing we do together is helping him learn. It's just going to take awhile, that's all. Meanwhile, ds#1 is not known for doing his best work without at least a little oversight. He'll do better once he gets the hang of what is expected each week. It's amazing how much he has improved since the start of last year--one of the real blessings of homeschooling!
I suppose I should do something with ds#3. I'm hoping to start the "letter of the week" (name, sound, how to write it) and try to do some living math with him daily in addition to reading volume #1 of My Book House. I read volume 3 to ds#2, and volume 4 to ds#1--we all think it's really neat that each child has his own volume. The stories, poems, and pictures have been really delightful! It's a great resource for both Tales and Poetry for Mater Amabilis if you can find it.
I'm back to trying to make timeline labels. They're easier to make since I got rid of Norton's Internet Security, which used to slow down MS Word to a crawl, especially when working with a lot of graphics on a page! I need to find some physics experiments for the next couple of days as well--Newton's Laws of Motion stuff! |
