Week 2 in review

Wow! What another amazing week. My main focus this week was to get into a rhythm that would incorporate everything we needed to accomplish without getting lost in the process.

Homeschooling:

After looking at our schedule and reflecting on the rhythm of breathing I figured out how to proceed with this week.

We continued with Language Arts using animal stories as the vehicle. (photo to come)

I purchased math music to listen to on the way to the bb center.

My biggest struggle of course is with the next block: MATH! I was using Right Start Math happily for the better part of the past two years but felt that something was missing. I tried to go use the waldorf method but I was missing something. Then I realized that ds's aspergers and processing issues, Math was going to be difficult. I needed help.

Of course, like all others searching for answers, I turned to the internet. Usually when I do a search, I would find wonderful answers, but it would be out of reach somehow. This time, this time, I was in luck! I found a math program @ our local waldorf school that could help. So I met with this wonderful math tutor. She is going to help! yeah! The cherry on top is that she introduced me to the Eurythmy Teacher who also does therapeutic eurythmy. OF COURSE, we signed up!

As a waldorf inspired homeschooling mama, this is a dream come true.

This week's Brain Balance experience has also been wonderful. Ds started off the week with "leveling up" in three different areas; reaching the main conclusion, making inferences, and I forgot the third one. He also won two medals, one on Monday and one on Wednesday. These rewards are not given lightly. (photo to come)

He has also improved with his bb homework. Ds is now able to do push ups and sit ups. Egg rolls are a breeze.

This week's accomplishment: SELF CONFIDENCE.
