Homeschooled Goobers: Happy New Year! Weeks 18 and 19

As mentioned in my previous post, I got socked with the flu and pneumonia directly after Christmas, but thankfully recovered and due to the holiday schedule, it didn't affect our schooling very much.

Week 18
January 2 through 5

1) I have one days's worth of pictures from this week; I was still moving pretty slow from the bad germs knocking me down. I have jotted down that the elementary kids did some online work and I know that we watched some historical documentaries together, and by Friday of this week I was up on my feet a bit more. We got the homeschool bins back out and got to work.

Math review and some language arts pages

Finishing the end of another K workbook we had. It's all review for him at this point but it helps with number formation.

Week 19

January 8th through 12th

1) Monday was a normal day, nothing exciting. We were in pajamas all day, and I was better able to direct Kinder Kid (meaning I had more energy than the previous week) when he needed some extra input and movement.

Taking a sensory break

2) Tuesday the big kids have advanced band, concert band, and jazz band so there's a lot of in and out as they walk to their rehearsals and lessons. Kinder Kid has OT/Social Group at the library in the afternoon which pushes Tot's nap back by about an hour. She handles it. Mostly.

6th grade works on Grammar.

9th Grader digs into his American Literature studies

3rd Grader makes some visuals to work on fractions

Big and small play together

3) Mid-week we make it out the door to the gym. Kids are excited and definitely need to run some energy off after Mama being sick for so long.

4) Thursday begins normal, but we have a special evening in store. 6th grader has an orchestra concert tonight. Kinder Kid is doing much better at attending siblings' concerts but Tot has taken his place as Resident Natural Disaster and needs many breaks in the lobby.
