Other than the very beginning, it was an average Monday. We had orchestra, and someone didn't want to go. Got ugly, but got him in in the end. Played our instruments, then raced to Aikido. Afterwards, we stopped to get rat food, and ended up getting parrot food for the rats instead. We are still nursing our one guy back to health, so he's still getting babyfood twice a day. Tomorrow, we'll be going back to the vet for another round of antibiotics and pain meds. Emily is very good about getting him his medicine if I forget.
We also started a program we picked up this weekend. The program is called Sylvan Complete At-Home System: School Success, Ages 8-12, and it takes them through the reading/comprehension/writing process. It includes 4 CDs, an organizer, tablets for each CD with diagrams, etc to fill out for school projects, stickers and progress posters, and seems to have multiple grades. The kids started it today, and went through the first CD very quickly. I'm thinking that when we finish with the fourth grade levels, we can move on to the fifth after they show mastery. It's a relief to have something like this to make sure we are on target! It doesn't seem like workbooks are enough to make English relevant, and they seem to like the program! Yay! I've already told them that they should be mindful as they work through this as they need to apply the things they learn to their writing projects this year.
In all, turned out to be an ok day.
