When I say we have learned a lot, I am not always referred to educationally based materials either. Personally, this year I have learned so much more about both of my son's characters, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and, yes, their weaknesses. As a mom, I have been challenged to be more patient, to apologize when I blow it, to keep and open mind and practice flexibility and to put their needs above my own.
It has been a daily positive challenge to make education interesting and exciting, but to also get the information out and absorbed into their little heads.
I am proud of Jeffrey! He is reading, writing and doing addition and subtraction! This was ALL I cared about this year and I am so happy he has made so much progress.
Andrew, like me, likes a ton of variety. He enjoys science, math and writes endlessly. He also adores drawing and feeling a sense of accomplishment at the end of the session.
Here are some photos of this year's adventures!
