chepyl Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We have had 6 weeks off from school. I am 11 weeks pg and feeling miserable. Yesterday, DS did two math lessons, today we skipped some review and did 2 more math lessons plus a grammar lesson....we also played Monopoly last night as a family, 5 rounds of mancala and two rounds of Candyland. He has done multiple reading tests on my iPod. We need to get back into spelling, history and science. History is SOTW on CD. Science can be finished in 5 weeks. We have 5 or 6 spelling lists left. I may just stick with these two only for a couple of weeks until I am feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You know what? At this stage of the game, do what works for you! Your 1st grader will be fine if you find the basics in each week. And pg mama's shouldn't be feeling guilt about doing their best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sounds like a good plan. We took off most of December. The first week back, we did 2 math lessons per day (it was an easy topic) and a bit of spelling dictation on the white board. Second week back, we got everything else in. Third week, we get hit with the stomach plague, and I'm just calling this week a wash. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gramlingk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Do what works. This is a short season of your life that passes all too quickly. I know I felt terrible while pregnant with my daughter. It seemed I could barely get through the day. I would spend time doing what I could. Spend time reading on the couch together. Have your little one teach you a lesson in math or retell their favorite stories to you or read to you if they are reading. This would make them feel special and give you a time to rest.

rocketgirl Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Feeling the same way. We moved, then we moved again and I'm afraid to unpack everything because we'll be moving again. I secretly pray that it won't be til summer tho because it is so disruptive, obviously, but hard to get back into the "full" swing. We've been doing our basic Language Arts for weeks but are just getting going again with our Math and History unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 When pregnant and sick I hardly want to do ANYTHING. Seriously, the 1st trimester is the worst every time. Don't feel guilty about it. Maybe school through the summer to make up for it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
