So what have we done today?
Today we managed to do lessons 2 & 3 of logic, the girls seemed to have grasped this really quickly. We move on to Venn Diagrams tomorrow, and I hope we can make enough progress to have the test on Friday. I think J will move up to Academic level after the test. C might too, if she doesn't rush the work. K is doing really well, seeing as I've actually put her at a level above what she would be doing at school. I hope she doesn't feel discouraged if she sees the other 2 moving up a level though. I asked K to do some narration, about her maths work, and she explained it really well.
Later on I will be reading 'The Owl and The Pussycat'; they have all taken to hearing the poems, so I think I will do this over breakfast, so M gets to hear them too.
K has spent some time making models with the modeling clay, and M has been taking photos of everything. I'm thinking of getting him is own camera, so he can snap away.
I'm not managing to stick to the schedule at all. I'm really struggling to get up in the mornings, and as a result, half the day is wasted. I don't think it helps that M is on his hols at the moment, so the usual routine is a bit out of whack. Kennie and I agreed to start limiting the amount of time the telly is on. The kids are obsessed by it, and we think that we can bring more out of them by not having that distraction. So far it is working, they haven't really noticed and are merrily getting on with things that they wouldn't normally do!

Hi,
Just found you on Structured Home-Ed Forum, I have five children, Look forward to reading all about you, I love your home page,I've read all about slings, I fancied one with my last child but as ever never got around to it. We got rid of our TV about 18 months ago, it was very distracting!
Hi Bridget, lovely to hear from you! Glad I'm not the only madwoman with more kids then sense (grin)
