Kid Counsel

We try to get most of our work done Monday through Wednesday since Thursday is so busy and Friday is our make up day and test day (for spelling and math.) If we have appointments or playdates Mon-Wed then we move those lessons to Friday. During the quiet months when we don’t have therapy or it’s too hot/cold to play outside we may knock out more math and grammar lessons than usual or do 20 spelling words instead of 10. That makes me feel better about going lighter on lessons during the busy parts of the year.

If they finish their lessons AND spent at least half an hour outside I’ll let them have computer time on various educational games, most of those links are to the left under “Kid Favorites” but I need to update that as well. I try to limit them to 30 minutes of computer time but we’re not consistent about that. 🙂
