School was a complete disaster this past week due to illness. The boys read quite a bit, but I could not get them to do anything else - not even heavy reading. Yesterday morning finally, everyone was fever free and nobody had thrown up or
had diarrhea for days. Only the bad colds remained. Then William went outside
for a couple of hours to see his friends, happy to be back playing, and when he came in he was
exhausted, and his fever back.
So I let them sleep this morning. Later and tomorrow we’ll
do some history and writing projects, and art – things I know Prof. Husband
will not do with them while I’m in the hospital.
Then they’ll start on their
three week “light program,” which entails basic, independent every day work: Math,
English (grammar, spelling and reading), Rosetta Stone and music practice. It's all written out in a neat schedule. They
have assigned readings every day that contain sections from history and
science, but there is no substantial project work planned. We can do that this summer.
Sounds good?
