better homeschool day :-)

First off, I want to thank you ladies who commented about my last post and your prayers. I was really blessed by your encouragement and your prayers! (((hugs))) This morning went much better. Not perfect of course, but better. Rabbit requested her vitamin drink to help her, which I felt was very mature. She said she was "feeling moody" again and needed that drink, so of course I gave it to her. Piglet - well she's got adhd and forgets easily. But she didn't have a meltdown or anything. Just wore on my patience. And I got pms so my patience runs thin easily - not that it's ever been great to begin with! They both did just okay on their math tests - Rabbit got 4 wrong, Piglet got 5 wrong. But they didn't fail and we're just gonna move on from it. With Rabbit, it was silly mistakes, like forgetting to finish the math problem - say 47 x 3 - she'd do the "7 x 3" part, but not do the rest of it. I gotta teach her to look over her work before she tells me she's done. Piglet- well she's still getting her + and - signs mixed up. We learned about bats this morning - and freaked the girls out over vampire bats. rofl They're afraid for our cats, but honestly they don't live around here. They're still afraid.  I can't help but laugh. I think vampire bats live more like in the warmer states - New Mexico? southern TX? and Mexico. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mind. Of course when you think of anything "vampire" you think of this horribly scary thing mixed with a mouse with wings... ick. My dh doesn't like bats either. They bother me, but not as much as the rest of the family. We did more sign language as well - they're really loving this and so am I. It's surprising how many signs are used naturally in our language. We know more sign language than we realize, so it's pretty cool.  The girls are watching the movie, Angels in the Outfield. I should go watch it with them since I never seen it before and don't know how good it is. Rabbit's request and since she behaved pretty good this morning, I felt she earned it. Til next time. :-) |
