A full day



Flip me a fish, we did a full day of school today. It's about time huh?
I guess the kids have become accustomed to slacking because before we finished they were both having a melt down. They stomped off to clean their rooms and I sat down at the computer to look for some supplemental worksheets so we can wrap up "The Trumpet of the Swan". Man, do I ever need new office furniture. My computer chair is just right down gross. Here is a list of links that will help you if you decide to read "The Trumpet of the Swan" with your kids!

They are both really liking Daily Grams. It's quick, it's easy, it's to the point. I love it. I think we may also put away T2s math workbook for a spell. I think concentrating on his times tables for a few weeks might be very beneficial. I taught T1 his tables using this technique

It was so easy that he knew most of his tables in just one setting! I don't know if it'll come that easy to T2 but we'll see. At least he's motivated!

Well, it's late and I'm tired. Just thought I'd write a bit before turning in! Have a great day at school tomorrow!

Times Tales is the cure all for multiplication woes!! Seriously! Really! If you read the reviews at timestales.com, believe them! They're true! I'll let you peruse my copy before you decide, but it'll be the best $15 you ever spent!!
