Tom took Jonas to work with him today (it’s just Tom at his office), so he could homeschool there. It helped so much just to change up the dynamic for a day and give the boys a break from each other (and me a break from the tween attitude and the incessant fighting between the book ends). I think Jonas really enjoyed having his space with Daddy too!
Jonas labeled the parts of speech in a Dr. Seuss quote, watched a video on fractions and progressed at his own pace on Beast Academy, watched a TED talk and read on Epic, and completed several slides about forces and motion.
Xander wrote a narrative essay about what he’d be doing if he were at school, worked with multiplying fractions and whole numbers and progressed at his own pace on Beast Academy, read a book, read a few social studies articles and answered questions about them, and watched a technology and engineering video for science. For Mommy and Me Time, we made his bed/picked up his room and snuggled up in bed and read together.
Roman worked on his biography about Unspeakable with me, progressed at his own pace on Beast Academy, read on Epic, watched a few mystery science videos, and took a spelling test. For Mommy and Me Time, we played throw golf in the house.
We’re looking forward to PJ day tomorrow and heading out on the lake for the afternoon after homeschooling.
