Back to The Schedule

By
Here is what our basic schedule was to look like, starting when we brought Brynne home a few weeks ago.

This schedule is now posted on the wall above Brynne's desk.
It is definitely more for my benefit than anyone else's! 

We kind of followed this schedule, and then got way off it.

On Tuesday I had a mini-meltdown. Nothing serious. I just called it a day at about 11:00 a.m. Up to that time nothing had been accomplished. {Dawson said he likes it when I have a hissy fit because then he gets to spend the rest of the day playing video games ... I don't think he was really feeling that way on Wednesday when he was doing two days worth of work!)

On Wednesday we got back to our schedule. {For some reason the song lyrics, "Back to life .. back to reality ..." is in my head as I type this.} And our last two days have gone so much smoother!  I have felt so much more accomplishment and congruency to our day.

Things are back to how they should be in our little school room.

In the next couple of days I will do a post about exactly how we do it with a 14 year old boy and a five year old girl.

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
