How much more education can we fit in one day????
It occurred to me that this blog has been somewhat devoid of home educational reporting recently. That’s because we’ve come out of the sit-down-and-do-work stage that we went into a little while ago, it appeared to serve its purpose and kickstarted the learning process again. We now have voluntary turning off of the television (ah…
mostly harmless
Describes the day fairly well, although it wasn’t what I was thinking as I entered the title box. Yesterday afternoon I made a superhuman effort to detach myself from computer chair and got down on the floor and we did mosaics. This seemed to go down well. The bedtime routine went well as well –…
Weekend recap
Feeling that we did more history on Friday night, seems to be the in thing atm. Sat morning wandered around packing up the car with overnight gear that included a tent (!) and we pootled off the path which was lovely. Lots of other puddlers there as well, and most of us stayed over (only…
New lodger?
He’s been sleeping on the compost bin for a while, but tonight he appears to have decided to move in. If he keeps the grotty cats from next door out, it’s a deal 🙂 And in other news, well, I already blogged the SALT phone call. Pulled up Something Special on the desktop and let…
Taking a leaf
out of Merry’s book, been targetting my efforts this morning! Gotta love those red nose readers – Big is sitting on the floor right now reading one, and Small is on the couch looking at another. They are excellent! OK, quick round up of the day so far. Despite feeling like death only slightly warmed…
I am a good mummy
So good, that Big cried with joy when she found the missing computer game at her place at the table this morning 🙂 Or so she tells us – I was still in bed! Small is also still in bed. I’m assuming that this is because he was hot and uncomfortable and didn’t get to…
Improving
And can’t help wondering if it’s because I encouraged a workbook session or two 😉 We’re back to the Exeter maths. There’s been reading as well, sitting gazing blankly at class tv (she watched two episodes, back to back, of a spelling show!) A little more string art, this is obviously going to take a…
Education in and amongst
Taking another break as I’m somewhat downhearted. Was searching for resources to back up my (limited) understanding of bit manipulation, and on the site of the author of the book I’m using, javaranch, came across a campfire story purporting to explain it. And directly contradicting the book I’m using. I’ve emailed to request an explanation!…
Ooh, my brain hurts…
time to take a break from the studying, and catch up with the blogging, maybe do some (paying) work… So, today. Yet another horrendous night with Small. Despite the blackout blind, he was up with the birds 🙁 throwing himself round the bed, under the covers, out….you get the picture. Not quite sure at what…
Gosh, it seems quiet now.
As all the guests have gone 🙁 Small is sitting next to me drawing, and Big is working on a Hoobs book. I’ve caught up on the blogring, the washing is out although I’ve a pile of washing up to do. The weekend didn’t really turn out according to plan. Not that there was all…
