Today was even better than yesterday!!! : )
Yesterday, as the day progressed, Boo was whiny and {starting to be} uncooperative. I understand that she needed to test the waters – - and I needed to make sure that I let her know that what we do is important and necessary – - and that her “attitude” will not be tolerated. But, I had to do so, in HER language.
Boo is the type of kid who especially dislikes “rocking the boat.” She is the only one of my children to whom I can say, “You have disappointed me,” which is suitable ‘disciplinary action.’ She is also very studious. She is very proud of herself – - and wants the numbers to reflect.
I took points away for “attitude.” It spoke volumes.
Our day was wonderful!!
We listened to Alice in Wonderland {Chapter One} at Storynory. We also did our “usual” Aesop’s Fable, A Child’s Garden of Verses and the Science for Modern Living: Through the Seasons. I also had her do another Magic Square. I will probably do another {easy} one tomorrow and Thursday – - and then, next week, we shall try the harder ones. We started Fifty Famous Stories Retold, today, with “The Sword of Damocles.” I loved that story. We also started Around the World in Eighty Days – Chapter One. It was interesting….I sure felt like a dummy. These are the words I had to look up - – and yes, we are adding Vocabulary study to ATW. LOL!! : )
