We have been homeschooling and things are moving along..... slowly! Seems like the more I put into the cirrculium the more Haidyn doesn't know! I swear it really seems like it goes in one ear & out the other.
For the past five months we have been working on reading, our letters, & vowels! My o My, I think I just might commit homiside! We have been working only on "A", the long "A" & the short "A" -- 5 months! I have read boys learn slower but come on!
I have considered that it may be my teaching methods, so if there are any suggestions I am all ears. However I must say I have tried several different things. Right now we aren't doing vowels at all. I'm hoping perhaps all the work we have been doing will sink in. I will keep you posted.
I really am having problems with my own dissappointment. I see myself giving up on him making any progress & just settling in to the fact that this kids won't be able to learn simple things. Unfortunately it comes out in my voice & remarks. I have no idea what I really expect. Coorporation is what I say, but what does that mean? ha I will keep plugging on.
Must say we just finished a fablous segment on the Civil War & eventhough Haidyn made an 89 on the test, I think he really learned a lot. If you ask him things he can tell you. Perhaps his test taking skills just aren't up to par just yet. If you want to check it out the url is.... http://www.ckcolorado.org/units/2nd_grade/2_civilwar-uwp.pdf
Only thing I took issue with waa the pictures of the Union & Confederate soldiers. I found better ones online.
Have a great day!
Later...
