We had decided to 'deschool' until after the Easter holidays and now we are back to a new structure. Today is day one, and at only 11.30 I can say it has been a success so far.
I am using breakfast time to read aloud something I hope will inspire spirituality in my children - at the moment we are reading stories from buddhism. Reading is the biggest part of the new plan - me to them, rather than the other way round and breakfast is a great time to do that as they love breakfast so enjoy eating, sitting and listening all at the same time.
We have also done some maths games for simple counting practice, some letter sound activities as both love the Jolly Phonics songs and activity books. We've done a poster on France in anticipation of our holiday there in a few months time.
Zenstar boy has also read to me for the first time in weeks. I cannot believe how much he has improved whilst doing no practice, I feel that he is getting ready to read properly as he is much more interested in words now.
We have built towers and houses out of building blocks, I have done some exercise and the kids are currently doing yoga.
Only day one.. but I am feeling really positive..
