Before I start with my 6 year old I look through Deacon's work for the day and pick out something he can do himself- even if I have to skip ahead in his book. I think as a homeschool mom I work with them too one on one sometimes, when they actually need to just figure it out for themselves. It is something I am trying to get better at!The Three 22ndshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837614628832423777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988275145038032119.post-24550444928026935612012-01-17T19:55:07.906-07:002012-01-17T19:55:07.906-07:00I'm no pro, but I too have started implementin...I'm no pro, but I too have started implementing some independent work for Madison as well. For instance, this morning I had a really important phone call to make that I knew would take some time. Instead of delaying the start of our school day, I got Madison situated with some things I knew she could do on her own and then went to make my phone call. <br /><br />She also likes to help Noah with some of his work so sometimes if I need to do something I will tell her to assist Noah. She always finds it fun to be the "teacher" and it's definitely still a learning opportunity for herself when she has to teach the material. She will often ask me, "Can I be Noah's teacher today?"Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282570959779799478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988275145038032119.post-22239546776179624032012-01-17T18:08:58.211-07:002012-01-17T18:08:58.211-07:00This is really something for me to think about. R...This is really something for me to think about. Right now we are all starting our day together with calendar stuff and our Bible work. Then I work with my oldest for a bit before setting her free with her assignments while I work with the middle two. Usually everyone finishes up by lunch time. After that, we all work together again on science or history and have our read a loud. But sometimes it's after 3 when I get into my housework for the day!! Which leaves me an hour before I really need to focus on dinner. One hour a day is just not enough for a household of 6.Thiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215607323324295590noreply@blogger.com
