I have so many rambling thoughts in my head that at times it’s challenging to write them all down in a coherent fashion.
Some highlights of the day:
My second son cooked breakfast burritos for everyone this morning while he wore his apron from Paris. Cooking is a great activity for him to do because of the way that he is wired.
Audio books-I spent a little bit of time trying to download free audio books from our library. Apparently, our system is so old that I have to wait a few days after I request them before I can actually download the recordings. So, I went onto a website called “StoryNory” that lets you listen to their featured recordings. I want to get back into the habit of using audio books to help with exposing the kids to quality literature. This is also a great activity that frees me up to do something else while they’re listening.
Maker magazine- I placed a subscription for the digital edition. I’m bummed we could not make the recent fair in Brooklyn.
Math-I repeatedly am frustrated with the way math texts are written. For example, the sixth grade MIF book just doesn’t connect all of the dots for you in the materials which leaves me with having to infer certain things. I googled a random site on GCF/LCM and went, “Oh, now that’s how it should be explained!” This math site explained the topic in a short and sweet fashion and to the point making it easier to absorb. grrrrrr…wasting time….
I was up with my oldest until 11:00 p.m. working on his writing skills. Need more hours.
See what I mean? Plethora..
