okay, reading through Jackie's list I know that I teach all of that maybe miss on thing on the list, but I just don't write it down because my curriculuim covers that for me.... so my heart can slow down a bit now hehee. I just want to teach my kids the best they can be taught in according tothier abilities... and I can't begin to list every book we use for projects and such we use them at random for science and history, as well as computer software ... but I guess if I ever write it all up it would be more impressive than I thought at first, This was good it mademe think Thanks! T
EXACTLY!!! We do so much that we don't even realize! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the things you DO teach your kids!
THanks Jackie! I really needed that reality break! Yesterday I rewrote my time schedule and wrote up a new list of how many minutes they are to work in each class per day, how many lessons ca be done in that amount of time etc. I post it today on the computer desk side board wich is now becoming my chart posting wall. This will give kids no doubt at how much time they need to be spending, and I plan to get a timer for each child so they can start it and stop it for some classes to challenge them to do more work and less fooling around... what do you think about that idea?
