Here is Gigi's decorated
We then finished activities from last weeks unit 7&8. We made some snowflakes we have in jars with water and borax hoping to grow crystals.
Nathan played mathological liar and liked it. And then Genevieve Nathan and I played 7 ate 9. The last game is good as it reinforced what I was telling them about quickly adding, and that it is important to be able to skip count forward and back on both even and odd numbers quickly. I have been getting them to work on skip counting odd numbers. I will work on skip counting down soon. I should say they know how to do this but I think they have to think about it too much, even numbers are much easier for both of them.
Piano practice
And yeah we started story of the world. We did the intro chapter today, discussing our own history. We also discussed the importance of historians and archeologists in studying history.
So even though we are making progress in our homeschool lessons, I still feel we have a ways to go, we have so much to learn and do. I know for our family we need to ease into this but it is so hard to not jump in and do everything. Nathan was not having a great day, yesterday he was soooo hyper, and today he was anxious and moody. I started him on his adrenal pills, which I should have yesterday noticed the adrenal fatigue, but I didn't and today I think he crashed. I know on days like today he would not have retained anything at school and I would have picked him up in an emotion mess, but still it is hard to feel good about not accomplishing the goals I set for today.
Perhaps I am expecting us to get more done in a day then we can at this point. I find the transitions the hardest time wasters in our house. It takes time to get them back on track to what we are doing. I think what takes us two hours would take others one hour to complete.
This is a picture of my wish for a schedule, or at least the start, so much more to add in. But I would at least like to start following this schedule.
