This is my 3rd year homeschooling my son (2nd grade) and something is not right. He just seems well, bored. We do spelling from a workbook, 1 page and then practice spelling the words orally,
Writing with Ease 1 lesson,
A vocab book, 1 page,
Well Trained mind language arts, 1 lesson
1 chapter of Story of The World, fill out our map for lesson, and maybe do a craft.
1 Lesson of Math
Science is done almost every day, he writes in a science journal and listens to stories and might do an experiment.
I am still looking in to getting some art and music.
So anyway, he is bored. He finishes by 1 or sooner and then he wonders around the house bored. He wants me to play games with him and entertain him. I have to do all his school work with him,because it is all adult lead and I have a 4 y/o to worry about too.
Last year my son played on his own. Now that he is older he is no longer interested in playing. Am I not having him do enough. Do I really have to schedule all his activities, so he never is bored.
I need to have some time to do things of my own, but he is at my side every minute complaining.
We live in the country and so there Are NO friends. No hsing groups. We can't afford any outside activities. I am getting frustrated.
