New Plan...

New Plan...
1. English - continue using the Letts workbooks. Emily enjoys them and they make life easier...
2. Maths - as above, plus mathletics.
3. Science - abandon all sense of direction and go where curiosity takes us; at least, for a little while...
4. History - Never mention dinosaurs again. Never ever. Continue our own journey through time, using the galore park books as a reference not a lead. Might need to recap a bit, since we abandoned our journey in September.

Everything else remains as chaotic as before.
Now where's that Yellow Moon catalogue?

Teeth and worries

Emily has lost 2 milk teeth in the last 2 weeks and this week we find that the next chapter of her science book is about teeth. Good timing! I think we will be looking at this site too.

It has been an extrememly busy week and I am beginning to worry about the small amount of learning that seems to go on. I know I go through this periodically, so to find myself doubting again is no surprise. I know that Emily is learning, but I seem to spend my time worrying about the process! Structure or no structure, maybe a little structure. Workbooks? Writing? Computer? Aggghhh.

I think I need some quiet time to review where we are and where we are going. If I will be able to find that quiet time is a totally different matter. I am under great pressure at work, and whereas being offered as much overtime as I want is a good thing, having to work extra hours isn't so great.

Busy Week

Eeek - a busy week.

Monday - I'm working, Emily will go to the childminders, then she has Badgers in the evening.
Tuesday - Home Ed group, then Shopping. Hopefully we'll get to look at some fractions later.
Wednesday - Cinema (Schools Film Week) to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs
Thursday - Cinema to see The Princess and the Frog, then Home Ed craft group, then work.
Friday - Cinema to see Nanny McPhee, then a new Home Ed group.
Saturday - Swimming, then Fireworks.

Agggghhhh.
