myfatherslily Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 and please tell me to chill out! My daughter's brain shut off during school and she suddenly was incapable of counting 5 spaces ahead on a number chart. My son can't remember any letter names AND their sounds at the same time with any consistency, even though we've been working on "I" and "U" for 2 1/2 weeks now, he still doesn't know them. My younger son ripped up his sister's paper this morning, ate his brother's foam earth ball the other day (bit 1" side pieces off and spit them on the floor during naptime until only the "core" was left) and usually is screaming at me during school work, although today he didn't. I love teaching. In theory. But the reality is just stressful sometimes.:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Your kids are so young, I think I would take a day off and just play today! Sounds like you ALL need the break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 :grouphug: I've had a similar morning. Mother is not spelled mothr or morth. We cannot look at the first letter of words and guess (house is very different from horse). And "don't interrupt your brother's/sister's lesson" really means, "DON'T INTERRUPT YOUR BROTHER'S/SISTER'S LESSON!!!".:glare: My 5yo dumped crackers in the floor of the pantry while I was engrossed in the mother/mothr/morth saga, and my 4yo is still in his jammies. Time for lunch, coffee, and quiet time!:chillpill: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylianna Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sometimes those days start even before school is in session! I am trying to get school started by LUNCH, but they don't listen... Right now they are doing math while I lurk here! :) As I write this, my place values chart just fell off the wall. :glare: Maybe we all just need to go to bed!

myfatherslily Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 We've had lunch now, I had some cookies, the kids are playing nicely (although that 2 year old is determined throw every toy we own across the livingroom today!), and I think I'm gonna drag everyone outside to enjoy the hot, humid weather!
