Kids never grow tired of "the park". After a few days being inside due to the weather it was nice to get out and feel the sun agian. Although it was still very fresh, the sun shining was and always is pleasant.
Our week is now half over and before we know it we will be back into the swing of School for another term. I am feeling ok about this, although sometimes it feels hard to juggle my time with all the kids. My second youngest is at the most difficult age of 17mnths and wanting my time so much and there is also juggling my 5mnth old and 4 year old.... sigh.....I would like to be better organised and usually try and start that way, but somewhere along the road it turns to utter chaos (or so it feels).
My thoughts are to have three distinct times for school - Morning (9-10) where we will do english/phonics/reading and handwriting then a Midday session (11-12) where we will do Maths and finally an aftrenoon session (2-3) where we do our science and sose alternatively.
It will be great for the 2 school aged children to have Gym on a Wed afternoon to break up their week.
We struggle to have the resources for the younger ones to be occupied while I am getting the older ones busy with what they need to do - although at 17mnths the most time they spend on something is about 2mins before wanting to get into something else......
I spent so much more time with my eldest working on understanding things than I feel I have with my second school aged child....so this term I hope to do that better and make sure she has a firm understanding of things and knows her phonograms well.
