So we are trying something new to help us get through our day. At the beginning of the year I bought Riley a student planner because he likes to know what is expected of him before he starts his day. I thought eventually he would be able to look at our schedule and look at his weekly assignments and fill in the individual days himself. It has not happened that way and in fact I realized he rarely even looks at the daily list, he jut asks me again... But I have to say it was nice to have a daily list of what we were going to get done, so I am trying out the white board. I take the weeks assignments, look at what subjects are scheduled for the day and then write every ones assignments. Jake is enjoying this as he has become a super reader, Fern really does not need a list as she does not read yet but I knew she'd feel left out so I put her right at the top. Besides it helps my brain (it needs all the help it can get)!


So we will see how this goes, maybe it will stick maybe it won't.


And a little FYI for those who are not readers of my other blog, my hard drive is fried so I will just be posting occasionally now when my husband is not traveling and such. But also the photos will suffer as the few I do share will be off of my phone...


Sorry.


Here is an interesting article about homeschooling rising!

Interesting article. I wonder what HS just 3 girls is like? My guess is pleasant. Maxwell is a huge challange when it comes to our "home" work and Mimi is a dream. But of course every kid is just different wether b or g so I guess it depends. it's funny how they call HSing "newly fashionable", like it hasn't been practiced since the dawn of time :)
