Week one of homeschooling went well, the only miss step was Jory’s math test. I was busy cooking, trying to find Rowan’s school uniforms, and we had company. I thought I would help Vandy feel useful so when I saw Jory got some problems incorrect because I realized he needed the directions read to him (such a useful thing when taking a test), I told Vandy to go read the directions to him. Jory finished the test, but now I’m not sure how much Vandy helped him. I forgot to tell Vandy it was a test. Oh well, I know he has the concepts down which is the most important thing.
Teaching on Sundays seems to be an issue. Last week and the week before last, it was late before we got to school. This weekend I tried to be different. I cooked on Saturday night, so I didn’t have to worry about that, tried to iron but I got caught up in the garage looking for Rowan’s uniforms so ironing never got done.
It seems whatever time we come home from church, the clock ticks away double time. It wasn’t until like 9:30PM that we started and finished at around 10:30PM and that was a rough finish because I could feel myself working my eyes double time to stay awake, only to hear Jory say, “Mommy, I learned this at the pre-school I went to when I was little. You know the school the girls go to now.” Awesome! I love how he went to that school when he was little back when he was four and five.
Something has to change about this Sunday so we can do school earlier. Maybe with all of the wardrobe found, though I still think there are pants missing for Rowan but who can begin to find them in the mess that is our house, all the cooking and ironing can get done on Saturday and Sunday is free. Though maybe I should do as Mona suggest and let Jory iron his own clothes. Kayla is a year younger than him and is ironing her own uniforms…. I could supervise Jory while doing something else and I’d be down to only ten shirts and ten pants to iron and maybe school wouldn’t be going on at 10:30 at night.
