We are doing a lot of drawing and talking !
They seem to be taking a lot in but can't express it ... so I stick to drawing which seem to be easier - Declan can retell the stories beautifully - but if I ask him to write it down I get one or two sentences - I can only hope that this will improve ? !
This week we have learnt about Rabbit and Hare diufferences, all types of insects and the Bird Woman for the little ones and Christopher Columbus, King Alfred, dragonflies and cats with the older ones .. we seem to be processing so much more info as in doversity than we were before !
I made them do math and handwriting and then comprehension and just texts texts texts ... I see now that that was not teaching them anything about history or bugs or anything very interesting !
They have even been outside drawing parts of nature !! And they are all excited start piano lessons .... we are almost done for the day and it is only 10.30 - I think once we get in a good groove it will flow much easier too.
Other than that - my long negleted house should start getting fixed up too ! Washing is caught up but OH MY the folding that I have to do !! ... The plan once we get our groove is to have the kids help with all things like that as well - plenty of time for it all to gel together though !
Well I need to go and supervise before they all disappear from the table !
