Homeschool Bully

I walk into the kitchen this morning and find my daughter shoving her brother into the pantry and closing the doors. Nice to know some things carry over into the home from public school.

I am anticipating a science project for March. The kids are excited. They are going to start a garden. They are happy they get to help choose the vegetables.

We are studying the 50 states in history - a new one every week. They get so excited because they take turns choosing which state they will study next.

I find that if they get to help choose their own curriculum they are more likely to enjoy it.

I was at my witts-end a couple days ago. Having to pull curriculum out of the air every week was too taxing. Hubby ordered AOP for me to finish out the year. That will help. I will be better prepared next school year since I know I have to teach.

Off to school!

Painful

It is getting harder to teach. The swelling and pain in my hands are getting worse. It is hard to hold a pencil or paper. To write is painful. Not sure what is happening. Maybe the doc can help tomorrow. Typing is getting to be too much.

I will continue to homeschool until I can't do it anymore. Then my husband will have to step in.

Printer down

Had a mechanical glitch today. Made teaching a bit difficult. The printer went down. I couldn't make copies of lessons. I eventually got it working just for it to go down again tonight...this time for good. I have no idea what I am going to do for school tomorrow. Hmmm....
