We had a very productive day yesterday, I love those days where school work and house work both get done and we are not totally frazzled by the end of the day! Now to just figure out the formula so that we can do this always instead of by accident.
Aidaen is such a great speller, I am thinking I may need to start using some more challenging words for him. The math is coming along, I did some reading and an hour a day consistantly should do the trick, he is starting to switch from wanting to do hands on math activities to wanting work sheets and text book questions, although I'm not sure that I totally love the Grade 5 math text we are using.
Nevaen and I hit a wall yesterday with his reading, we both got really frusterated, things got ugly and being the adult I took a deep breath and then explained to him that I am not trying to punish him by helping him learn to read, but trying to make his life better. If he would learn to read then he can learn and be anything he wants to be! What an eye opener...so we'll see how things go today, hopefully we will just find a retaining wall instead of a huge wall of china!
