Super Compliant. 😂 I'm done with my part in lessons today, and walked on the treadmill for a while. I hate the treadmill, but you can put up the incline quite a bit and I need that kind of uphill exercise now. Girls are doing literature.

I have four classes today so its going to be a long day and I've been up since 6 and dd has TKD, so really really long day. If it's nice later I may walk while she's at TKD.

KrissiK Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D Tuesday!!!! Today is going to be busy. I have an 11:00 appointment in the Big City for DS to see about an educational evaluation for him and then I drive home, pick DD up from school and go back to the Big City for her annual appointment with the only pediatric ophthalmologist in the Valley so he can make sure that her condition, which is benign, hasn’t changed. And DD, being the hypochondriac that she is, is sure that he’s going to schedule another MRI on her brain and optic nerve (very he likely won’t) and she doesn’t want her eyes dilated and she’s been worrying about this for two weeks now. My only issue with the whole thing is that we never get out of there in under 3 hours. I’ll take my laptop and hopefully I can get some work done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Good morning! Krissi, did you ever get your rain? I just got off a zoom meeting - I was asked to be a part of a steering committee which I agreed to, assuming I would be unhelpful dead weight. But I think I might have been a little helpful. Or at least felpful. I love the organization, so it makes me happy just to be there, lol. Now I am supposed to go hike a hill. Don't want to. But I should go before it starts raining.

Susan in TN Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I did 45 minutes of hill hiking with a 15lb pack. I had intended to try to get to the top 4 times but only made it 3. But since it was pretty dry out I was able to hike to the very tippy top, so that was good. Started sprinkling just as I was finishing up. Legs are tired. It's almost story time!

Oldest really messed up my overall plan by reading ahead this year in history. Lol I'm thinking US geography plus review of this year's US history on a timeline so he can really SEE it. I also want to include our bible curriculum and just keep adding to it as we progress through world history later on. I just have to decide if I want to make my own pictures/figures or buy HITW. Also, do I want to do a timeline in a book or on the wall? I think I'm going to buy the olde world US and World maps combo pack (HITW). I wonder if studying national parks and wildlife in addition to each states flower, tree, and bird is enough to qualify as science? Reading is up in the air. I still plan on him reading reading reading as his interests lead, but I do want SOMETHING tangible next year. Novel Ties are an option, but I'm considering Reading Detective because it would give him ideas of other books he might enjoy reading. I'm a bit confused about it, though. Is it meant to be a full curriculum or a supplement? And is it used for one year or two? (Says 3-4, 5-6, 7-8). I really can't believe I'm considering winging it in so many subjects without a physical curriculum with tests. This is sooo not like me. Last year, this type of thought process would've induced heart palpitations. Edited March 23, 2021 by Servant4Christ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
