So, part of the reason for homeschooling is that learning would be enjoyable. The whining and crying are not the point! I've got a lot of work to do with her in regards to habit training. I know the whining and crying are there, no matter what we are doing. But I understand that she was getting frustrated with math. Fina works herself up into a tif (those of you who know her can just picture her face!) and I know she needs saving from her own emotions. How to do it, though. Never mind homeschooling - this whole parenting gig isn't an easy one.
Yesterday we had our second meeting of our local outdoor play group. We had gorgeous weather! We had a lot of fun with a few new people! The kids had a great day, making new friends along the way. The raked and jumped in leaf piles, buried a dead squirrel, played with worms, sticks, mud puddles and much more. Fina woke up very sick with a stuffy and runny nose, though. But we went anyway, not too worried about spreading germs outdoors (hopefully!).
Fina is still sick today. So we opted not to do any schooling. We have been playing memory and Uno and drinking lots of fluids. She was up for a few hours during the night. We will read some Peter Pan later today. But that is about it. This is a definite bonus of homeschooling. We will continue our school tomorrow, or when she is feeling more like herself.
