People have often asked, "What are your younger kids doing during homeschool?" Well, today I would have to answer, "Destroying the room!" :) Crazy Horse attends a 1/2 day preschool and Memphis Belle goes to a small 1/2 day class 3 days a week. Monday, however, is not one of her days to attend. So on these days I try to have things she enjoys to do within reach in our school room.
She loves playing with blocks and unifix cubes. I put her at the table with us and this keeps her occupied (for a short time).
I also have a basket full of books that she enjoys to look through. She enjoys this (for a little while).
She also likes to sit at the table with her books. And this keeps her happy for about 10 seconds.
In between these episodes, she is making a complete mess of the room and expressing her unhappiness with not being paid any attention. It must bother me a great deal more than Old Crow though. He says, "She just wants to be up here with us." :)
So I just try to make the best of it and remain calm. After all, our virtue we are studying is patience.
