Homeschool Mother's Journal

In our homeschool this week:

The boys are learning about France this week. They are counting to 10 in French and building the Effiel Tower.

In our Family this week:

We have started a new way of handling workboxes, lessons & chores. Since the boys are getting older w decided to change up some of the routines. The workboxes are now in the boys rooms instead of the family room. They are working at their desks (still a work in progress).

With chores I have a chore chart printed on their doors with personal chores they need to do daily, brush teeth, shower, deoderant, water the gecko, cat care, stuff like that. And they have 1 thing in their room to do each day. Today is straighten dresser drawers.

Then theres a chore chart in the kitchen and bathroom listing their daily chores. If they don't do them they get a drop. A drop means no allowance. They don't like that.

They are also at the age where I shouldn't have to hoover over them to do their chores either. I will remind them occassionally but other than that they need to learn time management.

For Lunch Today:

For lunch today the boys had homemade pizza bagel- whole wheat bagel, tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni & grated cheese, apple sauce- sugar free of course, and some left over homemade cookie cake.

The kids LOVE this lunch. Its like the bagel bites, but bigger & a lot healthier. Not processed.
