We joined a co-op center. We can go at any time just to hang out or Ailyn can take a class. For now we didn't sign up for classes. We went to a picnic they had and met a friend. I think we will use the center more in the winter months.
Ailyn joined a Brownie group (want cookies? Just ask!) with 3 of her good friends. She really enjoyed the first meeting.
Gavin's school was closed due to the heat so he came to Strawberry Academy. We read the book "The Dot" and did some soapy paint bubbles. These two love to make a mess so they had a lot of fun.
Ailyn and did more lessons on the book. We made more dots out of circles around the house.
We made lots of dots.
We have another co-op group off of our special needs FB group. It's not an organized group as of yet but hopefully it will be. We went to Jerusalem Mills to meet a couple of new friends. They were filming a documentary the day we went so we got to see some cool stuff.
Ailyn got to make dolls that children used to play with in the Colonial days.
We ate lunch by the creek.
We tagged the last of our butterflies. It was sad when we released our last one!
Number bonds can kiss my ass. The awesome thing about homeschool is that we can take our time on something that is hard. We have since gotten over this bump. I think a lot has to do with me and how to teach her. I didn't learn math this way so I'm learning too. Not a good match for two very stubborn people.
I might have to bribe her to have good behavior. Amazon Prime rocks!
And, of math is too hard we can always take a hour to visit her old teachers! She even got to spend the night with one (thank you for that much needed break)
The first day of fall was like Christmas for Ailyn. She asked everyday how many more days until fall. She told me she was going to jump in the leaves. Little did I know she actually thought she would wake up on the the first day of fall and the trees would be bare.
The poor kid was very disappointed she could not jump in the leaves that day. She waited for leaves to fall all day. She still is waiting.....
So we made a fall tree with leaves falling.
Math is again fun.... because Mommy is addicted to Pinterest. Reading, phonics, art, music are going great. We have done a little Science and Geography. I wanted to focus on the core subjects first.
Our schedule is crazy. It's only going to get more insane when we add swimming, Science class and Hippotherapy. Right now she goes to her old school for speech, OT and PT 2x a week. She has a handwriting class at the Universary AND home PT twice a week. She's handling it much better than I am. I can fall asleep sitting up.
I look forward to what October will bring! We have an appointment with her CP doctor next week. I'm hoping he can make some much needed changes for her.
Thanks for reading!
