Homeschool

Our spring "break" week continued well into a second week, with Chase still recovering from hand, foot, and mouth.  I spent the first few days home sanitizing the entire house and trying not to loose my mind staying in solitary with him.  He spent many, many hours reading....

I didn't want him to get to far behind in school, so I thought it might be a good time to try my hand at homeschooling.  I picked up some work from school to get started, and made my plans the night before.  I was a little limited to what I had him to do since his hands were the worst, and his blisters were still healing.  I tried to cover all the subjects he had at school.  We had computers,

social studies, reading, language arts, and we hit math pretty hard.  Gotta say math is not my favorite...nor is it Chase's.  I even made him go outside for recess, and made a fun "hot" lunch.  One full day, and I was exhausted!

I decided the next day to take it a little lighter so I could get a few things done at home, BUT that was short lived as the school nurse called to tell me Sadi had some little dots on her hands (turns out her little dots were probably just hives from being outside).  She too came home for a little homeschooling.  I almost completely lost it trying to learn/teach her this common core math.  2 hours to do 3 problems! 

10 days after his symptoms started, they both FINALLY went back to school!  Chase's hands still looked pretty spotty, but he was cleared by the nurse and I was thrilled to be out of the house.  Two things I learned about homeschooling...

1.  I never want to home school
