School at Home

Feb. 22, 2006 - Not feeling well this week...

... so it's one of those weeks I'm thankful for two things:

(1)  Workbooks.  They're not always the enemy!  This week, my children's A Beka workbooks are ensuring that they continue to get lots of review on phonics sounds and math concepts, even when I don't feel like doing much else.  If I were feeling better, I would concentrate on games, hands-on activities, etc.  But this week?  Well, at least we can keep having school.

(2)  Read aloud books.  I don't have a sore throat, so I'm quite capable of cuddling on the couch with my kids and continuing to read through The Secret Garden, The Sign of the Beaver, and our Bible reading.  We're reading slowly, but books give me a chance to cuddle even when I might not feeling like doing much else.

Homeschooling, combined with homemade soup, storebought sourdough bread, and a fabulous husband, is even possble on the rough days.  :-)

Hugs,
~Anne

Will pray for speedy healing! We read those two books last year, when my oldest was in fourth grade. We just love them both! You're right, sometimes workbooks are nice!

Hope things are going better and you're back to "normal"... whatever that is... tee hee.

Blessings,

About Me
Yes, we use A Beka and we enjoy our relaxed style of traditional "school at home." (We use other things, too, like some Sonlight books... and I devour Ruth Beechick's books.) I love the idea of relaxed schooling, but it became too overwhelming for me to keep up with! We switched to textbooks -- with Mom in charge -- and we're loving it! Join us!
