We have shifted our learning zone into the front room which also doubles as a playroom. I borrowed the fold down table from the caravan and it sits neatly under the bay window. Benedict sits on a dining room chair and I use the nursing chair nearby! This chair no longer rocks as it is in a permanent fixed position. It is a very comfortable chair and for that I am grateful as I have injured my back, I have know idea how, but moving around is rather challenging at the moment.
Thanks to Eva and her post and links to a chore chart site, Benedict has his own pack of activities: Morning, Lunchtime and Evening. He has been such a great help these past few days and even undertook some extra chores today to help ease the burden on both Dave and myself.
Way to go, Benedict! Shelters and house building are very interesting, aren't they? I am so glad you get to learn about them. All my children loved learning about them. Maybe you could try building a bean pole or sunflower house outdoors in the spring!! That would be great hiding place in the summer. You could disappear into it with a good book.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are also using your chore charts! It feels good to accomplish things, doesn't it? And you are such a good helper to your mother. I know it makes her very happy and proud of you.
San, I read about JUMP Math the other day. It is supposed to be effective for children that have difficulty with math. It is a Canadian math program, but has also been used in Great Britian with success. Maybe it would help Benedict.
I meant "Great Britain" of course.
DeleteThanks Eva for the info about the Maths I will check it out x
