Fail?

One of the first questions I always get asked when I tell people I'm homeschooling, is how I manage to teach second grade, with a two year old running around! The easy answer is: multitasking! The long answer is that I try and keep Sophia involved as much as possible. In the morning we do a Bible lesson and singing together. While Elijah does math and grammar first thing I try and give her an activity to do. She's really into sticker books and sometimes coloring right now. Sometimes I get a little more creative and find something cool on Pinterest for her to do.

 Today we colored coffee filter "flowers". When she was done I set up a little task (again, found on Pinterest) for her to work on. First, you had to take a lump of Play-dough and stick in a few sticks of uncooked spaghetti. Then you give your toddler a bowl of Cheerios and instruct them to thread the Cheerios on to the spaghetti. Sounds cool, and time-consuming, right? Well, Sophia didn't think so. In fact, she had a better idea. And after putting about five Cheerios on the spaghetti, she decided this was better...

Snack time?

 

School is rough when you're two!

Can I have a snack too, please?!
