It appears that the cold weather is out of here for a while. Spring has arrived and with it, spring fever for the teacher. I am so ready to "be done" with school, but we have a ways to go. Basketball season wipes us out and makes us move slower in school. It's at this time of year that I have to remind myself how much we enjoyed watching him play. The kids seem to have great attitudes, so I am masking my struggle in front of them. We are just trying to read out on the front porch, plant some veggies and flowers, yet get all of the other studies done as well. They seem motivated and are getting everything done each day as well as helping with the chores. Maybe part of my struggle is knowing that I am leaving to go to England on a special choir tour with my church next week. I will be gone for 10 days and don't want to spend my last week here with the kids doing school. I would rather play with them or take them to climb Mt. P. Maybe I can work out doing both. I still have to shop and pack, though, and I am feeling the crunch! I also think that leading up to time for me to leave, it will help them if things have been "normal" and in our regular routine. Hopefully, they will be able to continue while I am gone. My MIL (right "next door" on this dirt road") is going to keep them, so that they can practice their instruments and do school (as much as possible) while I am gone. They have learned to do well on their own for some things, so we'll see. Anything that they get done and understand will be worth it to me........one step closer to taking a month's break! Math-U-See calls........I wonder if we can watch MUS videos outside???? |
