Yesterday, I went through the children's seatwork subjects to see where we are. Seatwork, or tablework as I might call it, are the subjects which require the kids to sit down and work out problems. The subjects of Math, English Grammar, Spelling, Penmanship, Latin, Science all count as tablework or seatwork. I was disappointed with the lack of progress we've made over the past year, but I know its my fault since I don't hover over the kids to make sure they are making progress in these subjects.
We are finally getting into summer the way we've wanted to. A sad thought since its already mid-July. We have full days of schoolwork, days at the library, days when we go out for errands and the mid-summer dance refresher. It makes me wonder how we lost this simplicity. It makes me wonder how we can hold onto this simplicity and not lose it again when the leaves start falling in a couple of months.
