The Brick Wall

There are seasons in homeschooling when we, the teacher & students, hit a brick wall. This has been my experience this week. Needless to say, we didn't accomplish as much as planned & I will change my method for math tomorrow. I've learned that when I'm presented with challenges that I must "accept, adapt, and overcome". We'll have a victorious and successful day tomorrow!!

Sluggish Start

We had a two week break, and are still getting into the swing of things. It seems to be taking us a little longer to complete our math lessons. I'm not sure if it's because we're reestablishing our routine, or whether it's because we're learning new material. I'm sure it's a mixture of the two. After a long break, I usually ease back into school by just covering the bare minimum.

Homeschool Week

Saxon Math Lesson 56 - Numbering a clock. I think Click enjoyed learning a new aspect of telling time. It took a long time to fill in the clock, but that has more to do with age than the grasping of the concept. For some reason he's losing some of his math doubles facts - the ones that were most challenging to learn - 8+8 and 9+9, so I'll be sure to throw in extra review throughout the week.

What About Clack?
She eventually fell asleep, but not before leaving her mark in the learning area. She was into the usual items - coins, crayons, math fact cards, modeling clay and markers.
