Hi hi! Work has been busy. I'm technically only contracted for 15-20 hours a week. It's only Wednesday and I'm already over my hours. 🤪 I'm thinking of scrapping any lesson plans and using documentaries as my babysitter for the next two weeks. (It's our busiest time since parents are doing last minute curriculum purchases.) -
For me, I set a time limit because otherwise mine would never choose to read. She struggled greatly early on and has determined that she "hates reading," so we're slowly working through that mentality. She currently is still overwhelmed by chapters, so rarely does she read a chapter book. She'll read longer graphic novels on her own, but those don't always have those natural breaks. Thus, our time limit, otherwise I definitely agree that natural breaks are the way to go. There are days her assigned time is like you said "checking the clock until you can run away." But, there are other days when she actually gets engrossed and doesn't track the time. Those are the times I'm working towards, when reading is actually pleasurable.

Not little at all. That little rat had the nerve to grow up! She's 10 now. 😭 We're really good. I'm working part-time as a virtual assistant for a science curriculum (Journey Homeschool Academy) and just doing the homeschool thing. We're starting at a new co-op in September and I'll be teaching 5th grade science, so that'll be a new adventure. But, all good! How about everyone else? How are you? -
