We will have fun!!!

We have been in school now for about 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks were great!! The kids were excited. They did their work quickly. The next two weeks -not so much fun… My oldest and youngest were not the issue…although the oldest didn’t want to do his work either. It was mainly the middle one. It was a struggle to get anything done. And it was taking all day to do the work. This should not be taking that long!! It was frustrating us all…except my youngest who can take school or leave it. So last week I asked myself why am I struggling like this. Is this why I chose to homeschool? To sit at the table all day and fight with them to learn anything? So I decided to become a little less structured. We are going to do a unit study one day a week. Which is why we did our weather study last week (See the first blog in Oct). We are going to do experiments. We are going to go outside and build forts and take walks. Every chance we get we are going to get a group together and have fun stuff. I did not start homeschooling to be stuck in a “classroom” for 7-8 hours a day. We will have fun!!!
