Life keeps crowding out our home school time. I know life and learning are enmeshed and can't be separated, but I like to have dedicated lesson times so that I don't have to multitask. And between sick kids and me being sick and yard work and Hallowe'en prep and birthday prep, life crowded out our school time last week. And it's continuing today, the day after Hallowe'en.
But. B9 did come up to me with his Life of Fred math book this morning after loudly expressing his displeasure at having to do school instead of eat candy and watch movies all day and apologize for his outburst and say he knows learning is important and I'm just trying to help him learn good things and he does actually think learning can be fun so he shouldn't put up such a fuss about it. And then he did the last chapter in that book and moved on to the next one.
