    BFS - KEEW YKCAW....oops....WACKY WEEK! :D


     

    We have been having fun enjoying "WACKY WEEK" at Blogger Friend School!  Everything is wacky fun!  This week, our assignment is to share something of your choice that is little “Wacky”!!!


    Have you done something crazy in your homeschool?  Do you fingerpaint with your toes?  Do you let your children do your hair?  Do you wear your pajamas during homeschool?   Oh, the list is endless, but it’s up to you and how much fun you want to have.


    To make it even “wackier”, we can try and type some or all of our post sdrawkcab.  (backwards!)


    !keew gnixaler dna nuf a siht ekaM

    (…and forwards…Make this a fun and relaxing week!)


    This assignment was a little hard for me.  It's not that we don't like to have fun or that we don't ever do anything WACKY, but in our daily schooling, I have to try and keep things as normal as possible.  Kiddo is so easily distracted that the slightest turn in either direction can cause our whole day to take an unexpected detour that we don't come back from for quite some time.  Some days that is good, but then there are days where I just want to "throw caution to the wind" and just fly by the seat of my pants.  How refreshing that would be huh? 


    I don't know, but maybe this being only our second year of homeschooling, I still don't feel comfortable enough yet in my own teaching, that I will be able to get all of our curriculum goals accomplished if we don't follow our schedule. Does that make any sense? I am also still getting to know Kiddo's learning style. Should I have already mastered that in one year? : > 0

    If I had to pick something that we do that IS WACKY, I guess it would be that we DO homeschool in our pajamas....a LOT more than I care to admit! lol

    So, what do YOU do that's WACKY?!?!?!?!?!?

    Blessings~ Laura

    Oct. 9, 2008 - wacky

    Posted by ridiculousmom
    I would say that everyday is wacky around here. Let me recap today's wackiness for you....Our dog "Marigold" just had a cyst removed from her back and she has a huge lampshade on her head. Poor Kyley is scared of this alien creature. I made apple bars today with my 2 and 3 year old. Ryan just kept saying, "Oh look"! Some of my middle ones who shall remain nameless decided to be unruly and so they got one of my famous lectures. I told them that they were not allowed to talk to each other during "school time" unless it was to say "I love you" to each other. I went to the bank in my slippers. that's about all the wackiness I can think of for today. As far as feeling afraid of not accomplishing all of your goals, I think that is really very normal. I also know you will relax as time goes on and you realize your kids are doing great. When I first started homeschooling I was so structured I had to give myself a day off so I wouldn't get burned out.
    blessings,

    I wear my PJs quite often for half the school day! Today, around noon, a city official came to the door to inquire about the greenhouse business we are starting and there I was in my rubber ducky jammies! haha! What fun!
