So it's been awhile. For a lot of things. Adisson hasn't had a really good week of school since November. Once December rolled around, we were so busy with the holidays. Then we got home from spending two weeks in Ohio, to me spending three weeks being sick. Like really sick. Fortunately, I have had medication that has been working for the past few days so I'm finalllllly feeling better. I'm not 100% yet, but it's a HUGE improvement...even from a week ago.
So I'm thinking about how things have been going for us as a homeschooling family and I'm less than impressed. :( Adisson's math has been a little intense for us so we've been taking it slow for the whole year. Now I know we won't finish it up before the summer so I don't know whether to keep schooling or to just pick it back up in September when we start school again. Who knows what will change between now and then so I can't really decide. But this week he's going to be reviewing all the things we've learned so far this year in Math so we can move forward next week.
His handwriting is progressively improving so I'm satisified with his work in that area. His reading is also going well. Even when we aren't schooling a lot, he's always reading. I'm grateful for that.
We tried rowing "The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge" two weeks ago and again last week, but I was so sick some days that we still didn't get everything done I wanted to. I was really hoping to build a bridge and a lighthouse, so I'm disappointed that we didn't get that in. Oh well, we'll just have to row the book again.
This week, however, we're going to do it right. We're rowing "A New Coat for Anna" and it's going to be awesome! We'll be talking about bartering and trading, weaving, sheep, dyeing, all kinds of stuff!! This is going to be the week that goes back to how we're supposed to be homeschooling, how we're supposed to be living, loving, and learning!
I'll let you know how it goes!!
