Today marked day 21 of "school." We have a lot more days than that in, but I'm counting "textbook" days, where we actually sit down and work on bookwork. Twenty-one school days ago we started Math. A week later, Handwriting joined the mix, and now about 2 weeks ago we started into Phonics.
As any typical 5 year old boy is, I'm struggling with Ethan on concentration. I find it's much easier if I leave the room. When he has no distractions he whizzes through his assignments in no time. The problem is that then I'm not there to check that he's forming his letters and numbers correctly. We're still in the critical stage.
What I find funny is that while he may be so distracted in the midst of it that I think he needs is a break and decide to lay off for a day he gets very worried and keeps harping, "Mommy, we haven't done school yet today!" Funny boy!
Katie absolutely loves her Kumon tracing and cutting books. She's on the last page of the tracing one. I guess I need to come up with a replacement!
Here are a couple pictures of this afternoon.
