Day 4

Just a quick post cuz I am soooo tired!... Today went well. Boys going to bed at regular time really made a difference. I did lighten the worksheet load and Graham worked on writing his name. How sad that he is nearly 9 and his own name is barely legible. But his writing today was terrific. We're using Handwriting Without Tears for both boys. Will's writing isn't too bad but he can improve on neatness. We're all loving the history series we're using called Story of the World. Today we learned about ancient Egypt, pharaohs and the Nile. They both love math on the computer and both are doing very well. I often have to explain some concepts to Will in a different, concrete way and he seems to get it but then the next day he completely forgets. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the movie 50 First Dates! All their work went smoothly and both were finished by 1pm. I am sooo tired and will veg through an episode of Criminal Intent then off to bed. Tomorrow? TGIF!!!
