Well, let's see: a husband who was out of town for a couple of weeks in a row, a new extra curricular activity started, and trying to prepare the kids to take standardized tests. Those kind of things will disrupt a carefully planned schedule...well and if you do not make a carefully planned schedule then you are really in for it.(Oops, did I just admit that I didn't have a plan?! Hhmm I very well could have had a plan, but if I did I have no idea where I put it!)
The month of February was full of new adventures for us. The boy child decided he wanted to try Karate and is now enrolled in a Tae Kwan Do class. He is loving it! I am very glad about it because he really needed to find his "thing"! The school he takes classes at has a home school class during the day which works so great for us right now. I am not sure I would have been able to get him anywhere in the afternoon or evening because of having to get the girl child to and from dance 4 days a week.
Speaking of dance, I am so proud of the girl! This year she is doing so well in dance. She is becoming a dancer instead of a little girl who takes dance. It has been a fun transformation to watch. I am very excited about recital coming up in May because I think she is just going to really shine this year.
Our school work for the last couple of weeks has been mostly "learning how to take a standardized test" stuff. The girl has never taken one so I wanted to make sure that she knew some of the in and outs of the process. I found some practice material online and we have been working with that.
One fun thing we have been doing for a couple of weeks is learning the Animaniac President's song. It is a catchy tune that will get stuck in your head.
Trust me, if you google it and listen to it right now, you will walk around for the rest of the day singing:
"George Washington was the first you see he once chopped down a cherry tree. President #2 would be John Adams, and then #3, Tom Jefferson stayed up to write a declaration late at night..."
Oh great! I have other things I need to be doing right now and I guess I will do them singing about the presidents! Ha!
Off to work on making a plan for this week. (hopefully, I will be able to remember where I put it when I am done!) I want to add some really fun learning activities in with test prep. Is that even possible? I guess I will let know!
