[Fridays at your house are.....]

Fridays here are our make up days for the most part.

 

I forgot to add that we also do homeschool PE on Friday afternoons from 3-4:30 :auto:

[Math frustration]

Maybe try something like time4learning as a supplement? It is kind of like a video game online and it might make him enjoy it more?

[Beginning of year benchmarks?]

I don't.

[News Alert...]

yay for FRIDAY!

[What do you expect during the day?]

I expect the kids to be respectful of each other, me, and our school things.

Fridays here are our make up days for the most part.

[Fridays at your house are.....]

Our homeschool group does field trips on Friday, so I tend to use them as a field trip/hands on project day. It's when we pull ut science kits or art supplies and go to town, if we're not physically going to town:). That might change as she gets older, but for now, it works.

 

Never understood why people say that until I moved to a small town with no chick fil a or target lol! We have to go to town all the time!

[Math help for 8 yr old]

Subbing. We HATE Saxon 5/4 :(

[What age for Harry Potter?]

I think we are going to start reading the series for our next read aloud :) My kids are 4-9 year olds

What do Fridays generally look like at your homeschool?

[s/o Circe....read alouds=not enough time to do schoolwork?]

I think the 15 year old does too but he acts like he isn't listening, LOL.

 

:lol:

[s/o Circe....read alouds=not enough time to do schoolwork?]

I dont think you could EVER read too much! I am really relaxed, so I would continue to read as long as yall are all enjoying it. I would do math first then read. If you can fit anything else in, do it. Math and reading are my #1's!

[How much free time per day should kids have?]

:iagree: I would want their free time to be at least one large chunk - as in 3 hours at a time - and not a little here and a little there. They won't be able to get into intense play or boredom with little windows of free time.

 

:iagree:

[What do you do when you are sick?]

I just do what I can and then stop for the day :)

[No Language Arts Curricula? Am I missing something?]

Thats what we do for the most part. I do supplement with some workbooks and stuff, but its mainly reading and journaling for my 4th grader

[Share pictures of your homeschool room]

Ours is also in the basement. I love having it in a separate room, but I do miss having windows (which is why I painted it bright colors).

I love that thing holding your books! Where did you find that?
