Right now, I'm getting my lesson plan/schedules done for the week. (Just for the girls since E's plans are done by k12). I'm so very tired of doing this. It's so TEE-DEE-US. Ugh! What makes it more difficult is that they are a little ahead of their grade level in some areas. It's hard to find the right work for them to do. Tae, my first grader, loves to work and gets excited about learning but if she hits a roadblock she'll freak out. However, my sweet little Yaya, my precious kindergartener is tough to figure out. She doesn't like to write (unless SHE makes the decision to write), she knows her math but if she can see that it is the same type of work Tae is doing, she'll stop and say, "I can't do that, it's first grade work." WAH?? If I give her stuff geared toward kindegarteners, she'll say it's "too easy" or "I don't want to do this because I already know the answers." If I could put them on the computer and let them have at it, they wouldn't complain a bit. SO FRUSTRATING. Goodness. I've flirted with the idea of unschooling them but somehow it turns into straight up playtime. I don't know, maybe letting them (especially Yaya) lead is the better way to go for the remainder of the school year and summer. I'll give them the access to the books, worksheets, etc. but let them decide if they want to do it. (??) I don't know.
