Critterfixer Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Good morning, and Happy Mother's Day. Today's schedule: Grocery list-dispatched Revision, possibly some writing along with the rewriting Visit MIL this afternoon and bring the painting I did for her gift Try not to be too down. This is almost never a good day for me, and I end up tired, out-of-sorts, and peopled out. But hopefully this will be a better year. ETA: And I do have a spot of weekly school planning to do, too.

Critterfixer Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Good morning. I spent the morning working on the schedule and trying to sort out gardening issues with the boys. They are would-be pumpkin farmers, but their grasp of how to plan and space plants isn't the greatest. Today's schedule: French-Lesson 26, audio, vocabulary and grammmar Latin-Continue lesson 1, reading and translation today. I expect much snapping and snarling. Math-Lesson 6, KTM Writing-new spelling words from a resource used for the final project; grammar lesson on embedded subordinate clauses, final project in WWS step 3. Literature-Reading in respective books, notes and vocabulary History/Science-reading and narration, reading and questions For me: French, Latin, grammar, editing, housekeeping, cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaRED6 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Well, today we've already picked up half the house so that's one accomplishment. Right now we are taking a 2 week break so I can get some planning and prepping done. So I hope to start working on next terms English notebooks. I need to make sure I spend sometime reading the Bible for myself, do doing reading with the kids and maybe step outside for some fresh air. (Mama to 6- 7,7,6,4,3,8m) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about stressed out with the clutter on my desk and I need to get some cleaning done, but editing and gardens take priority right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Good afternoon! We have done chores and devotions today and that's it! One of my bigs wanted to take me to the bookstore and lunch to celebrate a belated Mother's Day, due him working yesterday. He bought me a new copy of What the Bible is all About, I'd sent copy to my mom, Zaccaro's Real World Algebra and an illustrated copy of Beowulf that my dd is trying to confiscate. I'm going to help bigger boy review for his history final tomorrow and get ready for the anatomy and physiology final on Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a nice place to keep track of the day for me. Whenever I feel down, like I haven't done that much, I can go back and see that I really didn't slack off quite as bad as I thought I did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Good morning. Today's schedule: French-Lesson 26 quiz Latin-Lesson 1 quiz Math-no quiz. The lesson looked more interesting. No KTM. Writing-spelling quiz, grammar-a passage for analysis, finish up the first draft of the final project. I like WWS (dry-but I can make it work), but the idea that final revisions should take around 1/2 hour isn't realistic for us, so I told the boys we would work through revision tactics for the draft next week. I'd rather spend two more weeks teaching revision than have them rush things. Literature-boys read aloud to me Science/History-swap from yesterday Golf-we had a rain delay the other day. For me: French, Latin, grammar, revisions in for current chapter, edit next chapter and start revisions, housekeeping, some cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaRED6 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Good morning, better late than never. ? me: Today I'm not feeling the greatest as I think I'm coming down with a head cold (blah) so I'm prioritizing what's most important. I've already read one chapter of Rethinking School and ready for a book discussion with a fellow homeschool mom. I also want to listen to Pam Barnhill's new blog again- real encouragement for this season of planning. I need to finish up the the loose ends I have in the planning stage and finish some more prep work. kids: #3 & 5 need to do some of their speech online (Gemini Speech) also go through family names (expressive/receptive) and prepositions (receptive learning). #1&2 need to read out of their chapter books. Maybe do some reading outside today if not indoors while coloring. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
